Bamboo Hex-Shafts
huntertrapper:
great work man..looks good..
IONIAN:
I am hitting a dead end guys. I have tried several jigs, but I cannot get the taper consistent enough. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
IONIAN:
Weight is not a problem. Even though they start out around 900+ grains, by the time they are reduced they should make around a 650 grain arrow finished.
Pat B:
Nick, just a guess here but you might have to pre-taper the components before you assemble the shafts. There is a member that makes bamboo fly rods. Maybe he can be of assistance. Pat

Hi all,
I had this idea as well and found this thread in a german forum:
http://www.free-archers.de/forum/index.php?topic=4961.0
unfortunately and obviously in German ;)
The tools to produce the shafts come from rodbuilding and can be selfmade:

With this tool you can determine the taper of the shaft before you assemble the components.
Hexagonal (spelling?) shafts would look very nice too.
Greetings
Radon
