They asked for a set of darts.....but I did not want to do just wood.....the knot was my idea....they will be displayed in the store sometime next month..... the flights were their choice......I would change them....the tips will be put on when I get there....They weigh 12 grahms ea. without the tips.

Very nice work Al.

Thanks for the pictures and explanation, I always wondered how you guys did those knots and other patterns in the wood.
