These darts look great and very nice presentation!
I just turned my first bog oak and had some trouble with the finishing process where I was getting fibers from my applicators caught in the grain pits. What process did you use if I may ask?
Thanks for sharing!
Newf, those are a very nice looking set of darts, the person who wins them should be well pleased. Is the brass coated or protected in some way, to prevent them from tarnishing? That's the downside to using brass, the color once it tarnishes isn't so nice. I always spray any brass that I use with lacquer, it protects it as good or better than any other way does.

I was wondering if you tested the darts? I made a set years ago but they tended to flutter in the air. They looked great but had the accuracy of a scud missile. I tried redistributing the weights but didn't have any success.

I am a huge fan of a product called "Aussie Oil". It is great for bog Oak and makes a long lasting finish that brings out the deep grain.

That's what has kept me from making darts. I am probably not good enough yet to make the things all the same weight and balance. And I will need a lot more understanding of those things just in general. I'd love to flash a set of custom made darts at my next outing, but then the SCUD design bit might embarrass.
