My friend and hunting bud, Paul Jalon makes some of the finest arrows. He made a little video you might enjoy. http://www.backwayhome.com/index.php?/people/traditional_arrow_making_at_elite_arrows
Very interesting. I saved the video. His 'rollers' to check the arrow straightness and the way he straightens the arrow with the arrow inside the groove I'd like to copy. He sure makes nice arrows. The best, I believe. I also liked the idea of sanding the leading point of the feather. I only put a dab of glue there, but never thought of sanding it. Thanks for posting it John.
