oak tree fell down

(1/2) > >>

nsherve:
The tree that fell over from weather (it's pretty good size) is a red oak. Is this good for arrows, or is a white oak a lot better? I've never made my own arrows and have been wanting to try it.

Also, anybody ever used/tried sweetgum and sycamore? Were they any good? I have plenty of other types of trees, but sweetgum and sycamore aren't any good for much...

Pat B:
I wouldn't use any of these woods for arrows, bows yes but not arrows.

Mafort:
i made 6 arrows out of red oak and they are very stiff arrow shafts. seem to fly way better out of a heavy daw weight bow like an ELB more than anything. theyre tough to work as well.

Mafort:
dont get me wrong. i wouldnt use them for arrow shafting at all. i was simply curious when i made them as to how well theyd work.
