.....but who makes arrows from the trunks of flowering dogwood trees? Me  ;D! I was very disappointed in a set a flowering dogwood arrows I made up about ten years ago. Not to say that they won't make good arrows but the one tree I made my set from made lousy shooters. It's great wood for self-nocks and foreshafts (and bows) but I don't think I'll make another set of arrows from it anytime soon.
Badger, I believe some of those boo arrows I sent you have some remnants from those arrows.-ART B

I havn't used it for arrows, but I have used it for forshafts, and it is very tough. I've shot a cane arrow with a hickory foreshaft into an oak tree, and it sticks in it without being the least bit nicked. Of course, it's mainly penetrating the bark, but I've broken foreshafts made of different woods on the same tree.
