red cedar as arrows

(1/2) > >>

shootinbud:
ive got some straight grained cedar boards but they are 2 short for bow building  had any  one made arrows from red cedar?

1/2primitive:
I haven't, but I think I've heard of Indian arrows made of Red Cedar. If it's relatively hard, it should be all right.

I have a roughly hand planed ERC arrow someone sent me years ago. I just remembered it....I just went and looked. It's not ERC it is Coastal Fir from Don Berg(OldBow). Has a similar look and feel of ERC.   I'd say give it a try. No reason it wouldn't.     Pat

they work . their brittle though so a sideways glance off a branch or target will make them explode into many pieces

Not the same as the Dukes of Hazard exploding arrows though.   8) Justin
