Hi Kris; I'm just about to embark on turning a set of darts from Wenge.As an avid dart player, I had to make a set for myself

Nice. I made a set for my brother-in-law out of whitetail antler. Everybody in his league wanted a set until they found out how much I'd charge.
I've weighted PSI kit darts up to 19g, but that took every last bit of lead I could put in the tube, including a bullet (I ran out of lead wool). I find that 18g is a more reasonable maximum weight.
If your darts come out unbalanced, it might be because the lead weight is not evenly distributed radially. Try packing in a little bit of lead (into the point end of the tube) at a time. You might also need to glue it in place when you've reached the target weight. I also measure on a reloding scale (accurate to 1/70,000 lb), so the set is pretty darn close in weight.
Regards,
Eric
Hi Ray; I have no idea how old these kits might be.I have recently seen the darts kits. How new are those?Considering the cost of the kit, the blanks used, the fit and finish being top-notch, I'd be inclined to ask $75.00 for a set of 3.And How much could a set be sold for? Understandably depends on wood species too. But this could be a new porject for me.
Would you say $40.00 would be to high priced to sell? Just curious.
They would be a one of a kind set. It is always easier to come down in price than increase if the demand warranted it.
