I have been really busy with work and taking care of In-laws (92 years old) but had a chance to stop and do a quick simple project for the neighbor.
The neighbor is a cub scout leader and his son and four others will be given their Arrow of light in a ceremony next month. The neighbor had mentioned they just normally use a dowel, put some feathers/arrow on it for the ceremony and that is it.
So I did some research and found a rough pattern of what an AOL was suppose to look like and went to work without telling him. Once I was half way through I called him over and told him that I needed what colors needed to be painted on the arrow at which he was speechless. He ended up volunteering to paint the color rings.
I started with the rough bitmapped of the arrow and imported into AutoCAD and cleaned it up.
All of the red oak was milled from rough stock I had. The arrow was milled from rough stock. I put on all the flights and the nock. After I finished the plaques I made five more arrows for the burning ceremony.
I hope the kids enjoy it as much as I did in making them.
(I blanked out the kids names on the nameplates which is why there is a rough spot on them.)
