What is a good price for Dougals Fir Arrow shaft blanks..? Would $30 - $35 sound good to you guys.?
11/32 Square unspined 1 doz. = ..?
11/32 Round unspined 1 doz. = ..?

for raw unspined shafts IMHO you oughta be goin maybe 15-20 for the squares and 20-25 for the rounds

You can get premium douglas fir shafts (Surewood Shafts), spine and weight matched for $40/dozen. If you are looking at shaft blanks that are unspined, and you are buying them by the dozens, expect to by 6-8 dozen, so that you might end up with one dozen matched in spine...who knows maybe you will get lucky and it will be the spine you need. ;)

Can you still spine the square blanks..? I have access to ton's of Old growth fir. I was thinking of maybe making a few hundred or so and sell them.
Or maybe better off spining the arrows and be done with it.

I ever get ahead i'm gonna try some of those arrow shafts Carson, they shure look good

I just ordered a couple dozen 11/32" douglas firs from surewood.39$/doz.plus shipping.I've heard very good things about surewoods shafts.They split them by hand and guarantee at least 4 growth rings per shaft.The spining and weight on a dozen are really close too.
bow101....Go for it make a slug of em.If you don't someone else will do something else with the wood.

At any rate I may be able to do $30 - $25 per dozen arrow blanks spined and weighted. 11/32" X 33"- 34" lenght......? They would be hunter grade though not premium.
What you guys use mostly, (sizes and wood species)..? Let me know, Thank you,
