Making Wood Arrows (Birch shafts, Self nocks)
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Polishing my arrow makings skills. It's one of the first sets I've made. Still a lot of lessons to be learnt. This set was made with the use of birch dowels and turkey feathers.

A little tip, you can use steam to get those feather really smooth and repair the damage done with manipulation and constant shooting,

A jig for cutting self-nocks is available from 3 Rivers Archery, which includes a slot for horn/wood reinforcing, perpendicular to the string cut

It's a shame that you had to waste so many dowels. The craftsmanship involved in making those arrows is impressive- good work!

Yes, few of them had decent grain. Thank you!
You don’t spine your arrows?
Good

How are the threaded ends holding up? Anyone got any tips for that? I think it looks beautiful but on my arrows the thread broke after a while. I painted the thread on it in the end but real thread looks way better!
Bạn cho mình hỏi gỗ bạn làm mũi tên là gì vậy, cảm ơn nhiều.

What is the weight of these arrows??
Ein Bausatz für alle Fälle!?!? DTdkf.!

I don’t use fletching tool. My fletching work is far from perfect
I put plastic nocks on mine. They are fairly cheap

Bekommt jetzt jeder einzelne Pfeil einen Namen, nachdem man durch den ganzen Aufwand eine derartig enge Beziehung zueinander hat? Ich frage für einen Freund.

Should have been called 'Assembling Arrows'. You didn't make anything.

Haha, thats nonsense. There's skill and attention involved and with the color and thread something unique is added. That's good enough for me. Let alone the fact that before you start you have to think about the points, feathering and colors and what the length and width of the arrow needs to be to fit you're particular bow and draw.
