Warbow Arrows
Ordnancebob:
I too am looking for a source for 1/2 shaft.
I'm located in central Ontario.
Forresterwoods:
I can make the shafts if anyone needs any. I would just need the dimensions. Maple, I've found, has one of the stiffer spines for weight. Also ash..like oak is more of a club...Kevin

Just 3 quick questions:
1. How do you get your fletching thread to wind so nice and even?
2. How to you get you knock insert to stay flush with the rest of the wood?
3. What type of quiver do you use for these arrows?

1. Practice and patience. Seriously... I'm not being a smartass.
2. I cut the nock insert slot in the middle of the arrow shaft (with the grain) on the bandsaw, then I cut and fit the horn piece to fit the slot, leaving it over size. I glue it in place using 5 min epoxy. After it sets, I use my belt sander to smooth out the excess glue and horn. I then taper the last 12" of shaft to 3/8" at the nock, giving the shaft a 'torpedo' profile.
3. Canvas quiver with leather disc spacer.

Thanks for the reply mate! I greatly appreciate it! I was wondering if you happen to have a template for the leather spacer?
