Awesome! I know where to get laminated birch shafts. Do you also use ordinary birch? Is it easy to keep straight? Do you just mill the arrows from planks?
WillS:
I've only used birch straight from a log. No idea if laminated birch would be strong enough for a warbow? Certainly the traditional way is to split half inch blanks from a log, and turn them on a shooting board, tapered from 1/2" to 3/8".
They smell good too.

I had an ipe arrow do a full pass through on a deer and get lost in a swamp bog. Found it a MONTH later. Stripped it, recrested it, fletched it, put a new head on, and dropped it back in the quiver....
