Description

This is part of a set of six arrows matched to my guava hunting bow. They are made of teak, and although they are only 5/16", they spine around 60 pounds at 32" long. The fletchings are black and orange barred turkey feathers, 5.5" long.

The nock is a simple self nock, reinforced with artificial sinew which also wraps through the feathers. The point is bedframe angle iron (1040-1060 carbon steel), cut and filed by hand, hardened and tempered, and lashed with artificial sinew.

These arrow are beautiful. I really love the points.
Does artificial sinew shrink like real sinew as it dries?
