Nice work!
AS USUAL snake your work speaks for it self
Sweet! Is the foreshaft on the left one red oak?
GOOD JOB!! PRETTY COOL!!
Nice very nice. Missed you at ATAR Chuck. Very arrows and heads.
Dogwood shoot foreshaft and nock. Ailbates flint..I did not knap them...but that's on the short list. Very huntworthy stuff. Thanks for all the compliments.
Another Q...
Is the forshaft a tapered foreshaft or barreled? (don't have any pics pre-assembly do you?)
Nice work Chuck!!! :thumbsup:
Now I see what you do with the snakes. Wow that is some beautiful stuff.
Nice stuff here is a few of mine ready to go this year..I would make your foreshaft a tad bigger on the dogwood one...gut

Someone who now lives in Texas gave me three beautiful heads knapped from Palo Duro flint. I hear that he is a good teacher. Maybe you guys could work a trade there.

Mickey, The foreshaft is barreled with the socketed end wrapped in sinew extending about 1/4" outside the cane. I mounted the foreshaft into the split cane socket with pinepitch and then wrapped over the tapered cane and foreshaft with sinew[artificial]. I'm no expert at this but it seemed like it would spread the load out at that point which is where most foreshafted arrows fail. Great lookin' work there gut. That will STONE'EM!!!
Charles got some Sweet looking works of functional art! shell loves that bull terrier watching over your young un, great dogs! :thumbsup: <><
is it wrong to be aroused by arrows? VERY nice work mate!
Killdeer you lucky girl.
Ok another q....
how long is the barreled part of the foreshaft inside of the cane (nosey aint I?)
fish..uh probably..if not wrong at least it's disturbing ha ha
Absolutely Awesome!
Great arrows.Cane is my favorite,and nothing sets off cane like a well chipped flint head.
Nice work !!!
Gotta learn how to do that!!!!!!
Mickey, 'bout an inch and a half. Killy, I've been thinkin' about W.B...just thought I'd give 'em time to get settled in. Thanks and if you want those works of art turned into arrows ya' let me know..it would be a pleasure.
One of them, he made into a necklace. I haven't put the measure on the bases of the others, but I think one of them makes the 7/8" minimum for these Virginia whitetails! There are ash shafts aplenty here, and a shock of river cane that has stood in the corner of the living room for too many years. :archer: All I need is to get off my dead...you know.
He oughta be settled in by now. I would poke him or chuck some rocks, see if he stirs.

whoa,I wish i could make some heads like that but, it just takes time i guess.
