Okay so I started in on a half dozen arrows today and decided I would try to do a build along. Now let's start off by saying this is the way "I" "eye" and "aye" do them. There are a few ways to skin this cat and I will just be showing you mine.
First, Don't be a tight ass and buy shafts from someone that doesn't know what is wood arrow is supposed to be be made of. Seriously there are some hacks out there. Now let's get to building.
These arrows are for JOHNROHIO here on our site. I finally got his recurve up and going and the grin he had from under that manly mustache, I'm envious of course, made it necessary to get going on these.
So here we go... First I marked all my shafts down 10 inches from the nock end. Right now I'm not going to put a taper on them until I get the stain where I want it. I don't like fulling with paints that much. Made too many mistakes and expectations that never surfaced so I went on a search for stains to do mostly the same thing. I know shut up milo and post some pics
. Here is the stain I'm using and what it looks like on the bare shaft
