Enjoy, regards A.K.
i like those blue feather.
did you make them Al? very nice
Yeah, there are plenty of fine fletchers here on the 'Gang...and it appears, you're one of them Al...
Thanks for the kind words bowspirit, I say that cause I learned a lot of things from all the fine people on here. And yes I made them all.
Just love putting together a well made set of timbers to shoot.

My primatives. Self nocked Scot's Pine shafts, reinforced with sinew. Shield cut 4" feathers glued with plant glue (bluebell bulbs!) & bound with linen.

There are truely some talented arrow crafters on this site. I can really appreciate those that make the more primitive style tying the feathers and using self nocks. My hats off to you guys.
Here are a few pics of some of my favorites. Some oldies and some I just finished.

Al, really liked the green 4 fletch. What cut are the feathers and what degree did you fletch them?
Owlbait, mate them there arras are my Flu Flus. I just put on a full length feather and cut it on an angle towards the point. I always put on the most I can get in regards to helical on all my arrows. i use a Jo-jan jig if that helps.

Last years set up. Rivercane and W. Blackwell stone heads

Well, my work isn't nearly as good as what I have seen here, but here is a link to what I have done:
http://www.geocities.com/arturdubh/index.html
I have provided the link, instead of posting the pictures directly, because I do not wish to use a lot of bandwidth here and tie up this site's servers. I admit that while I have been building arrows for only the past nine or so years, I have learned a great deal -- and I am always learning more.
There is no person who has gained so much knowledge and experience that they have nothing more to learn.
set I made for an auction table for our local Trad association this year.....

set I put together for a friends wife for the N.A.L.S.
