port orford cedar???
mullet:
Personally, I like pine over cedar. I have 2 dozen arrows that are pine that I've been shooting off and on since I got them. The shafts were barrel tapered. But I'd rather shoot cane or Bamboo.
George Tsoukalas:
I make and shoot pine arrows. I like pine. It hand planes easily. Poplar is good too but it takes twice the time to hand plane. Jawge
Minuteman:
Western Red will do . I figure pine would probably do as well. The WRC is not gonna hold up as well as the pine probably. I've made 'em from WRC and they do work. Haven't made pine though. You'll need super straight grained boards like no run off. Or very little.
Cromm:
It's the smell that sells them.
You could have a 100 different woods for arrows,but the one you would remember would be the nice smelling ones if you were buying them from a shop.
That's why they sell so well.
Hillbilly:
I never figured out why people are so gung-ho about cedar. You can look at a cedar shaft wrong and it'll break. I don't usually sniff my arrows too often, so that's not a factor-I like arrows that you can shoot more than once, like cane or hardwood shoots. :)
