[Music]

clean up the end so it has a nice has a nice symmetry so like right here somewhere it's not very straight right now

okay now he's trying to get somewhere right here usually the closer I get it unless I have to use the stronger Bend of my knee then I can just start tweaking it with my hand all right that's a good straight section right there don't you BAM so I'm just outlining how wide I want it to be I'm cutting in the middle of it loosening the grain it's in the middle of those outside cuts and I take my knife I push it in a little bit directly in I just cut all those lines I cut straight grooves I put my knife in this way and Severson

see that how it's starting dollars to it again I want symmetry I want to make sure everything's balanced it's hot well up sided smooth the bottom smooth any rough cut edges

kind of marry them together a little bit you can see it put some some tar from the bank line on their back strap seen you working out separating okay so I'm gonna pick a feather and get to it [Music]

that's what I have now see that the flushing right there so I wanna make the quilt as small as I can

[Music]

all right as you can see it's nice and thin so I'm gonna make two more I'll get back to you all right so has my three feathers ready to be flushed so my first feather somebody my Knock feather it's going to be 90 degrees from where my string is going to be C on my knockers right here it's gonna go up and down the string so this fellas going to be facing out so I'm going to prep my sinew just by wetting it inside my mouth [Music]

wrap this around [Music]

make my little X holds my rap in place like I always do I'm going to do that once

I'm going to put the next feller gonna be 90 degrees from that one so right in line with my string now rap over that one as well I'm gonna put my third on here do the same thing [Music]

do that same tuck under like I always do on my on my Hanks and everything else lots of spit on there helping self glue so I'm gonna just trim them up till they're about the same I'm going to wrap some more seen you starting towards about the middle of the wrap and wrap right on to the shaft sister out that's good to go so I'm gonna do the back you start with a knock filler do one rap just like before then go to the next do the same put you on that okay and the third and last

senior has built-in glues in it so it's a great material to use and of course it's a natural material not too shabby so that's what it looks like so iced have a long thin piece of senior right here and I'm going to wrap cross my fletchings I'm just separating feathers how's that man all right just put on eight my finger make the little X not again and I'll wet it all down that way it adds a little glue to itself

I'm gonna go just underneath the knock know what it same as before I'm gonna make one more wrap and this is gonna be I'm gonna make X's wrap around here and every time I come around I'm gonna come back through I'm gonna wrap inside the knock inside the knock wrap around

keep wrapping around the knock put it all down so I did I made like X's inside as I wrapped around wrap around and I went inside the knock inside the not inside the knock that type of thing puts an X have seen you inside the nog so the string so string has to go through a little pad in there seen you before it can actually start splitting you know just one more layer has to go through so it's obviously too dark to shoot it right now so we'll shoot in the morning and our a little bit sure closer to the length of my arms is the fletching signore Rach and in the knock as well all right it sounds you

you
