Amazing arrow material

Digital Caveman:
Thanks, what's a shooting board?

boomhowzer:
Where's up here? I'm in Northern Michigan. We have lots of white pines. I guess I didn't know they make such good arrow shafting. How did you dry the log?

Digital Caveman:
A friend cut out 36" sections from a fresh fallen tree and I used a sledge and wedges to split the logs into quarters and then those large blanks.  I set them out to dry for a year and split them down when I am ready to work them.  I can send you a bunch if you cover shipping.  Are you above or below the bridge?

boomhowzer:
I'm below the bridge, about an hour north of Traverse City. Thanks for the offer, but we have an endless supply around here, so I'm excited to find a good looking tree and get sledging and wedging!

JW_Halverson:
With grain that straight, making shafts ought to be a cakewalk. Nice!
