Hazzle Arrows
« on: August 12, 2011, 11:04:24 am »
  I could'nt wait so I sinewed on some old trade points. I'm sure you know what I'm saying when I say the just leap off the bow like little darts.  Hazzle's a really solf wood so I dyed green then sealed the elmers wood harder for rotten wood. If anyone needs to stiffen up there shafts try this. I did'ny spine test one then redo after it was aplyed wish I would have.
   It's also a wood sealed looks like my new sealer. I going to seal a ELM BOW with it also just to see how it go's. I seal all my own bows with bee's wax but when I build a bow for someone lots of people don't like the maintance you have to do to it each year to the bow. So I think I've found a new sealer.
  Hazzle's the straightest shoots I've ever seen you could shoot some of them as they are.

I used hazel years ago as arrowshafts and I can part your experiences. There is one plainsarrow about 10 years old and its still as straight on his first day.

I'm heading to the hazelnut (or filbert as we here in Oregon call them) orchard to cut some limbs. Thanks

Hey Crookedarrow, do you think that Elmer's Wood Hardener would work on Phrag shafts & River Cane shafts?
