spine, most critical, then weight group.
then tip weight to suit spine- if you are chasing high foc, then i would adjust spine accordingly.
i am not sure what bows you are building for- so i have attached a link to our spine charts.
these charts will get you really close.
and you can play around with point weight vs spine, vs draw length and draw weight at your DL.
i find the Sitka averages 10 to 11 gpi
that was a nice chart knoll put up

TSA:
chat to Blayne, he will help you matching the shaft variable to your bows.
good luck!
Blayne:
We can chat. Give me a call or we can chat at the Gathering about this. In your situation and your desire for speed, I would go with the lightest physical shaft in an appropriate spine range. For selfbows I normally suggest going down in spine or right on(eg:40lb bow 35/39 spine) species is irrelevant if they are hard to come by or you want to make your own. For us Canuck folk Sitka is the easiest to come by as a milled shaft, but for natural we have lots of options of course. Happy to help however I can!
