Feather Splicing
 

I got to fooling around with splicing two different color feathers together and it took a while and many wasted feathers before I got it were I liked. After it was all said and done I was only able to finish 9 arrows as I had ran out of red feathers. Here are some pictures of the arrows I did finish, what do you think.

When I get a little better I'll do a video on how to splice feathers........

Works of art! Where do you get your feather material?

I'm not set up yet to cut my own feathers. Soon I will be so currently I've been ordering 5 and 5.5 inch shield cut feathers. I shop around to see who has the best prices and the colors I need then place an order. I use to only use Trueflight feathers but I've found that AMG feathers are better in my opinion and cheaper so I've been getting them off Ebay believe it or not. I then trim the shield cut into the medieval styles for these arrows. Not a lot of work really. Now doing the splicing is a bit time comsuming to get them right and look like it is one feather. I am getting faster at splicing though. I'm going to be doing some splicing for the feathers I'll be putting on the set of carbons I'm building.

Looks very cool, Derek you have the arrow building down to an art. Bob
