aero86:
good white pine from like the lumber store? lowes or home depot?

Bevan R.:
I have a friend that buys 2x12 Douglas Fir from his local lumber yard. Has to search through quite a few to get the grain and least number of knots but he them makes some fine shafts. He also foots them. Sorry I do not have a photo. I am using Poplar and doing all right. I have also made shafts out of the split cedar fencing. Those I did the 'old school' way of hand planning. I am also currently experimenting with laminating pine or cedar onto a hardwood (oak, purpleheart) core and then running that through my shaft shooter. so far I am not displeased.

Charlie, white pine or poplar are available at Home Depot and Lowe's near the red oak boards. Both make very good arrows.
