Love the look of these arrows mate!!

One question, what are you using to bind the feathers on? some form of sinew or a thread?

Cheers,

Colin

Hi Colin,
Artificial Sinew, it binds the fletch and reinforces the nock. Easier and faster then thread and a lot stronger!
I start before the fletch and finish at the nock. glue it down with super glue, then finish off with tru oil.
