Lawrence was sitting on the tail bed of his truck with his arrow making supplies. Currently, he was making the points for the Crow feather Arrows. He had already made the knocks on them. His knife sharp as a bear claw. The blade gliding down the shaft to start making a point. When he was done it, he would gently tap his finger on it and felt how sharp it was. Setting it in a pile of now 10 arrow shafts with no feathers, he cracks his neck and leans back a bit to look at the darkened sky. He was grateful that this area had good lighting that he could do this outside. It always felt peaceful when outside making the arrows. Taking out two Crow Feather, he would cut down the middle of each other. Placing the three halves on the rear of the arrow, he took some threading that he had and tied them down to it. when he was satisfied, he slid it into his quiver. And the sound of someone's familiar walking to him made him smile. Pulling out his blunt, and his lighter, he lit it up and took a big drag off it. Exhaling it slowly, he looked over and smiled. "I'm surprised your out here my dear. What brings you this way?" Placing the blunt on the edge of his side of the truck, he went back to work, this time, he started to make threading on the front of the arrow. Constantly blowing it so that he didn't have any wood shavings blocking his view of his cutting and shaving. When he saw it was done, he went into his box and pulled out a broad head. Smiling, he placed it's bottom onto it and screwed in on until it was fully tight. "Perfect." He set that one down in a different pile of Arrows. These needed Hawk feathers.
"Making these arrows helps me keep up with my skill as a Hunter and as a Archer. If I stopped making these, then I'm getting Lazy. If I get lazy, I don't do anything...and I don't want to do nothing. So my dear, would you like to learn how to make some? It be useful for you since your an archer as well. Wouldn't want to hear that you ran out of arrows. For now, take some of the arrows I already made. They are in my Quiver leaning against the wheel well up here in the bed. I have about 13 Crow feather arrows which I call old school, and 22 Hawk Feather Broad head arrows that have three small blades that extends into the targets. Each of them work very well with taking down Game, the Dead and People." Picking up the blunt, he took another puff off it and inhaled it in. Passing it over to her with a smile on his face."You said later, and later has come my dear. My offer still stands for you."
