Arrow Cresting on the cheap

[Rancid Crabtree]

I use this method to cap and crest my hunting arrows. First I stain them and apply a coat of lacquer.





While the white lacquer was drying, I built a makeshift cresting machine using my cordless drill.







These arrows will have cresting that was white, black and silver.



I start with the black stripes.



And then the silver bands.







Wraps are nice and easy but for a more custom look, I like to do it this way.
