Lets see if we can finish this off….

I ended up with 6 coats of min-wax wipe on poly on each shaft. Sometimes I go with less but it just felt like it needed that last coat to me. I wanted to get a heavy orange stain effect for the crown and I think I got it.

Here are the shafts all ready for fletching.

Got my materials and tools all ready so here we go

some gorilla glue on the end for the nock

place the nock on with the grain. The “V” of the nock should be perpendicular with the grain

you can see how the grain runs on the arrow

run outs points forward

nocks all on and you can see now how they orient with the grain of the shaft
