So happy
Russ:
Remember theyll get smaller as you round them.
DC:
If you have a good blade on your tablesaw that cuts real clean, maybe, but it's risky. I cut mine at about .390-.400. The smart way to do it is to make a test cut in some scrap to measure the width of the kerf. Then figure your way backwards to see how many strips you can squeeze into 2". 2" divided by .375 is 5.333333. 5 strips has 4 kerfs. I doubt you'll get 4 kerfs in .3333333 unless you have a very thin blade. 4 strips is safer. If you have a real good bandsaw you could squeeze that extra strip out.
Nasr:
Ill make some test cuts on a 2 in board from my scrap and see if I can get 5 but I am happy with 4. With 4 I can get 110+ square stock. Just trying to get as much from it without ruining it. This stuff not cheap.
Marc St Louis:
I'll cut 1/2" square blanks if I'm going to make shafts for heavy bows but for hunting weight arrows I find that 3/8" is plenty. I prefer making my own shafts, gives one a much broader knowledge base
Nasr:
ill Try a few and see what spine I get. I’ll keep you guys updated with pics.
