STEP 4
For the arrows, cut 2 pieces at 3" long with perpendicular 45 degree angles. Cut 2 pieces at 6" long with 45 degree perpendicular angles. Cut 8 pieces at 11 3/16" long with 45 degree parallel angles.

STEP 6
Drill a 5/8" deep hole with a 1/2" drill bit. On a drill press, set the bottom plate of the drill to the proper depth. If using a drill, mark the bit with tape 5/8" up from the tip. Drill holes where marked on the dowels.

STEP 7
Once the holes are drilled, begin assembling the arrows. Starting with the smallest pieces, use 3/4" brad nails and wood glue to attach to the frame. 3/4" brad nails will be used on all pieces attaching to the center dowel.
