Photos for Grahame

#1 Post by UPTHETOP » Fri May 21, 2010 1:55 pm

Hey Grahame I just had a good friend Justin finish these shafts besides the binding being a little uneven I thought he has done a great job for his first attempt at the old style.
He first cutt the knock groove the opposite, side then glued a piece of clear plastic in the back then recutt the nock groove when it dried for the strength I think its s great idea besides usuing the traditional wood dowel method.

Cheers Wayno

He has put a lot of time in on those arras mate, tell him well done. One comment from me is the throat of the nock seems to be rather shallow however that maybe just the angle the photo was taken from.
