Poplar 5/16 dowel rod arrows

(1/2) > >>

greenstick:
Made six Poplar 5/16 " dowel rod arrows with turkey feathers. The spine tests out between 38-47. The materials were either free or cheep, so the end cost approximately $ 1.97 per arrow. Best part is they shoot good. Anybody out there have good experience with 5/16 dowels?

I like my dolls a bit bigger.  ;D  Sorry, I couldn't help myself.  ::)   5/16" poplar dowels make good light weight arrows.

ive made a couple for a light bow and i like em

Bushbow:
Poplar in general is a great wood for arrows. I like the 3/8" dowels planed down to about a 50 lb spine. Your arrows look good, I think you will find they are stronger than POC

greenstick:
Thanks Pat, corrected now. 
 Bushbow, how do you plane them down and still be uniformed?
