You'll not learn more from making arrows or know more about the wood you're using than by hand planing your shafts. Something to consider. ART

Strange you should say that Artcher1, this evening I've hand planed one of the squares down to an octogon then rounded it by hand in a drill with sand paper. i'm very pleased with the result even if I say so myself.
artcher1:
You can further reduce the remaining edges (after removing the four corners) using a scraper or knife to speed up the sanding process Horace. ART
sonny:
some might argue I suppose but there's nothing any more rewarding than hand planing square stock into arrow shafts...
I need to find some more poplar square stock ;)
