Dante_F:
hi so i was wondering what the is  best lumber type arrow material. i dont have access to port orford cedar and dont like western red cedar. i thinking poplar, doug fir, or maybe sitka spruce

Scyth:

Sitka spruce.

(period.)


regards,

Scyth

Pat B:
Poplar makes very good arrows as does ash. Sitka spruce, Douglas fir, lodgepole pine and Port Orford cedar also make good arrows.

Dante_F:
thanks i think ill maybe give the sitka spruce and poplar a try and maybe doug fir, however can you get spruce at a home depot? further suggestions welcome

Pat B:
They don't call it spruce specifically. Framing lumber that isn't eastern pine is sometimes spruce or fir. You can get poplar right next to the red oak at least at out Lowe's.
