I saw this in a projects book recently and took a couple hours to knock it out. It was a very doable project for me, despite my lack of toolery. The head of the arrow is about 3/16” or so larger than the hole. The entire project was done by hand – I think I used my ryoba saw, a chisel or two, a pocket knife and a rasp (oh yeah, and my bit brace!). I was pleased with how cylindrical the shaft of the arrow is, considering it was purely done with a bench chisel!
EDIT: The heart is made of kempas and the arrow is pine (I think!).

Heart is kempas, arrow is pine (I’ve updated my post, thanks for the cue!).

I’ve done these with kids. They love it and can amaze their friends. I like the Kempas. Nice touch.

Very nice!
I notice, no one asked how you got the arrowhead to fit through the hole.

Yeah Dick, I figure it was either obvious to most woodworkers (maybe they’d already seen that plenty of times) or else the hole looks big enough that you could just muscle the arrow through (it’s not).
