12 cedar shafts
12 pink feathers
24 red feathers
12 brass tips
1 6-arrow fletching jig
glue and more glue
====================
12 arrows, with momo-style fletchings.
(Yes, I know that those are clothing color combinations from the Heian era. Yes, I'm playing Kamakura era. Yes, I know that Japanese arrows don't look like that; that's OK, I'm shooting them with a western bow anyway, because I will not dishonor a Japanese bow by shooting it without someone teaching me how.)
Aren't they awesome? (: (: (:
The ones on the top are Mark's. He made a dozen too.

Also, I'm now envious - I have not yet gotten the time necessary to make my own arrows. Kynar's are fabulous (it's what he *does* after all) but it's still really cool to make your own.
(Just be warned that a dozen is enough to start with, but just wait until you start shooting the nocks off your arrows... ;)
