G'day all,
Well I thought I better learn myself how to splice up some feathers so this is my first go and it was easy after you've done it!I did it the long way though, and I was shocked at just how long it took!

These arrows are for my Wife, Kelly, as she is starting to get the urge back for Archery.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v504/Longbow_lad/IMG_0785.jpg)
I wrote on them... "My last Breath" in latin. Something I always promised her I'd give. I always told her that when away in the Infantry/Army. On operations and at home. Fitting for a set of arrows I thinks!

Oh and thanks to Mr RicK D for the quiver. Kelly thinks it's her's now...lol
In Oz, alan

Good work, Al...

Have a good one! Ben

Great Alan! I'm showing this post to my wife. If she'll pick up her bow again I'll try to make some arrows for her (or I'll send you some cash and pretend I did it). By the way, your "test" arrows should be there soon. Gday, Mike

Beautiful arrows Alan, that Orca cut looks great on there.
Yep, splicing is definately a labor intensive process. So much so, I'd do some for my wife or boys, but probably not for myself or anyone else again!

Shakes, I just used a fine nikko (ink) pen and did it between coats. Never comes off.
Oh and a steady hand with neat writing helps too.
