Lol I wish it worked that way!
I finally built a bunch of dogwood shaft arrows, they are much much better!

I hear that bamboo dowels make a good arrow too. I assume that it is made from bamboo flooring? I think Ryan Gill at hunt primitive carries it.
Russ:
Nah thats just rivercane i think.

Woodely asked "Anyone used maple or hickory?"
I have used maple. It is very hard, very strong and very heavy:- about 22 grains per inch for a 3/8-inch shaft.
If you want a heavy, nearly indestructible arrow it should be your first choice. If you want a lightweight, high-velocity arrow it should be your last choice. It needs heating to straighten it (I use a gas flame), but once straightened it will stay that way.

Source for poplar dowels?
