I didnt put a dent in the amount of materials I had got yesterday!  I made 2 dozen shafts.  Oh thanks I didnt realie that I bundled them in a twist thanks KnightD...Yeah the cedar does carve like butter!  Thanks guys for looking I made a few flu flus I'll post them here shortly!

Nice job! What kind of spine range did you end up with for the raw shafts?

AncientArcher76:
Spine range 47-50lbs. but I can run them through a compression block and up them a bit too but they were just a test to see how well they would come out. My Uncle had got these giant colums from a big plantation house so he has plenty at least a hundred planks.  If they work out I'll return for more!

Thanks, I was wondering what the range would be if the blanks came from the same board. Sounds like they are ideally matched.

Good shooting!

I have had a few snap where there were a knot and also a few were dry rotted by I cut most of that out the only remaining waste came from the tongue and groove I cut off!  Worked great otherwise I might have to make another run in a few days!
