Ted at Raptor Archery will make you some beauty Ash arrows.
what weight does ash usually finish out to be
Without a point 550-600 is common for Ash. Tell Ted what weight you want and that is what you will get. For me, Ash is way more durable than Birch.
I just got on his site and 70# spine was the biggest i seem i shoot a 86# longbow. How long does it usually take to to get them made
Ted told me Ash can be tough to get over #70, above that he goes to Hickory. I got a dozen of each @70-75 tapered and they are nice. The Ash finished up at around 750g w/160 pt at 30" and the Hickory finished at a fuzz over 800 w/160 at 31".
Make sure your target is braced good cause they hit hard. LOL

How long did it take you to get your arrows when you ordered them
I bought some 85-90# ash a few years ago,any heavy spine in wood can be alittle tough to find.Have you checked Whispering Winds,Bob sells hexshafts in heavier spines.
Thought this might come in helpful.
Lets you compare wood weights with some math.

How heavy could a man get a POC shaft at 29" and 80-80# spine. i would really like to stay with cedar but i want to stay in that 10 gn per pound
Call Ted at Raptor and get the information direct from him. You are spending a great deal of time and effort asking for information that he can provide in a few minutes.

Allegheny Mountain Arrowwoods has some heavy stuff. I get my ash and hickory from him.
paul at badger arrows makes great stuff make sure to check out badgerarrows.com before you buy anywhere else
I second Allegheny Mountain Arrowwoods. Top quality stuff and great service. The owner shares a building with the grizzly broadhead manufacturer.
