Title: Help ID Wood Shafts
Post by: WhiteOaks on January 14, 2010, 08:06:00 AM

Got a bunch of raw shafts but I cannot ID whether they are Lodgepole pine, Cedar, or Chundoo. Any tricks to ID the shafts?

Thanks

Chundoo is lodgepole pine. So grind a nock on the end and smell it. If it's ceder or pine you will be able to tell the difference.
