Walnut shafts

<< < (2/3) > >>

JackCrafty:
Should work fine.  Looks nice too.....especially if you have a really dark board.   :)

hawkbow:
I would love to see some pics of those shafts... sounds like a cool idea for shafting.. Hawk

jamie:
will work fine, its just a bit more brittle than some of the other hardwoods. but then the object is to hit the target and not the rock .  ;D

artcher1:
Here's a few natural colored shafts that I've planed out. Not counting the fir and ramin of course.

From bottom to top: sassafras, partial sapwood/heartwood walnut (made by a friend), dark walnut, persimmon, ipe footed aspen, light poplar, dark poplar, fir and ramin.

Art, those look great, especially the ipe footed aspen, I've never seen that combo, awesome!
I've got the shafts to around #55-60 lbs. at 11/32 in. I plan on footing them this week sometime, I'm expecting my second born this week as well so running the band saw might be out of the question. Babies have to sleep you know.
