- Using the reciprocating saw, deconstruct the pallet so that you can use four full strips of the pallet wood.
- Cut the end of two strips at a 45-degree angle with the miter saw.
- Cut the remaining two strips to make the triangle for the arrowhead and then a parallelogram for the arrow feathers.
- Affix the arrowhead and the feathers to the appropriate areas with the pocket jig.
- Sand the entire front of the arrows. Remove all dust.
- Spread out the old sheet or drop cloth. Lay the arrows on the drop cloth.
- Using a bristle brush, apply stain to the arrows.
- Remove all excess stain with paper towels.
- Let stain dry. Affix the hangers to the back of the arrows.
- Hang on the wall with nails.
- Enjoy!
