Rosewood Shafts Question???

<< < (2/3) > >>

D. Tiller:
Can anyone tell me how to put nocks and points onto rose shafts? I think I will nead to use hardwood foreshafts and nocks on the rose shafts since there is a lot of pith to them.

Pat B:
For the nock end, clean out the pith and substitute with a dowel cut flush then cut self nocks and wrap. On the point end do the same but with a longer piece of dowel(2"-3"). Cut that flush and taper for field and glue on hunting points or cut a slot for trades and stone points. Wrap well behind the point. Pat

tomm:
hi Dave I just put self nocks and wrapped sinew around for about an inch Haven't had one split as yet for points just did the same and put my stone points in with pitch and sinew wrapped for an inch down seames to work for me. tomm

tomm:
Dave their are two kinds of rose here I think that ones that you have maybe called moss rose I haven't used that kins for arrows. I have used domestick rose a time or to as I have some here at home. tomm

Justin Snyder:
Horn spined nocks like I did on the Southern Community Bow should work great to. Just make sure your horn is wide enough to eliminate any gaps on the side caused by the hollow core. Justin
