Title: Where to get cedar for making shafts?
Post by: bjordnolf on February 17, 2008, 07:58:00 PM
I made a jig for making shafts out of lumber and made some ash shafts, but was wondering if someone could tell me where I could get Port Orford cedar in lumber form either on internet or near Denver?
thanks

Look for lumber yards in the Myrtle Point area of Oregon. I doubt that you will find it outside of that area.  Arrow lumber is in the form of planks that are 38" long, 8/4 thick, and varies in widths.  That is old growth POC.  Any place that I have found advertising POC on the web is selling new growth POC.  Don't think you will get good quality arrow material out of that stuff. dino
