I really like the ones in the last pic :tup:
Jason...notice that four of those are fletched with wild goose. He wanted a few for the late Blacktail season.

Very nice. :tup: I'm jealous. How long have you been building?
Been building my own arrows for about 25 years...but started making arrows for other guys a couple years ago.

You know what would make those arrows look even better? Lung blood from a big bull elk.
I intend to do that very thing in about 2 months! (https://hunting-washington.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv117%2Ftreekiller%2Ficon_arrow2.gif&hash=d3b0c4dc088bce6b9d6704dd0f2cf480385f4a08)

What type of stain? Sealer? Cut your own feathers and taper your own arrows?

Dang. Those are awsome.No I don't...just word of mouth right now.

Really good craftsmanship
What type of stain? Sealer? Cut your own feathers and taper your own arrows?
I have several different stains, but the dark walnut is a stain I bought years ago from 3Rivers. The arrows are dipped 3 times in Polycrylic semi-gloss finish.
I split, grind, dye if needed, and chop all the barred feathers myself...the solid colors I buy full length and chop.
I've made 3 or 4 dozen for one fella with a 10" tail taper, but I've always shot parallel shafts for my own arrows. I taper the nock and point ends in a jig attached to my disc sander that works just as good as the Woodchuck machine.
