Yep, the title sez it all ... anything and everything about WOODIES! there's something extra special about wood shafts that twangs a "traditional" chord in the heart strings of most trad bowhunters. so, for all their goodness - and faults! - if you love wood hunting arrows - if you shoot them, if you build them, if you love the way they look, feel, smell, fly and kill critters - add your comments and images to this thread and let's see it become a great gathering and sharing of woodie arrow knowledge for all.

When summer's gone and leaves turn gold
from frosty mornings to colors bold
Our hearts are pulled to the woods again
where hunting time must soon began
With bow in hand and arrows true
the goal is clear what we must do
Release the hunting spirit bold
then Autumns Legend can unfold

what lies in wait for the gobblers song
When the call comes back and the birds respond
what quivers slightly like a magic wand
At the moment of truth when the shaft does sing
what ends the hunt..... Shadow Wing

The woods are quiet when the sun goes down
The rustling of leaves is the only sound
A buck appears as if from a dream
you're ready for him with a Sitka Supreme
Ramrod straight and tough as nails
A darn good arrow for hunting Whitetails
When the moment of truth rolls around
your Sitka Supremes won't let you down

Deep within the forest glade, that's where the big bucks lie
The canopy is heavy there, it covers up the sky
In gloomy shadows void of light, nothing's very clear
especially the outline, of the ghostly whitetail deer
But when you send your arrow, upon it's deadly flight
you'll know it's path through the gloom, by fletching showing bright
Like it's namesake, it's clear to see, like a beacon in the sky
This arrow is the hunters friend, it's called the Firefly

Easy to cut, just the right weight can be achieved through different types of wood.
You can't beat the look and nostalgia of wood.
I just like the look of a tapered shaft.
I like the feeling of being more involved in making the arrow.
Personally it seems easier to pick a straight shooting spined arrow.
I see a lot more "which carbon or AL arrow do I need?" posts than "which spine wood?" posts.

The paint is off a bit, the feathers are a bit taller, and the shafts are douglas fir from Surewood, not POC.

I hadn't really entertained building my own until I bought a single Bitzenburger clamp, Young Feather Trimmer and some 60's ACME cedar shafts at a garage sale on a whim.
I began reading posts by Rob DiStefano, Snag and Trap among others to figure out what I didn't have and what to do with what I did have. As I gathered supplies and started to practice on aluminum shafts, I found that it had been a long time since I had a creative outlet and was really enjoying it.
I then decided that I'd like to make some arrows to thank the man who got me stared down this road, the man who had the garage sale. I matched the spine on the six shafts that were to become my first "matching set" of arrows and went to work and ended up with these...
(http://i1239.photobucket.com/albums/ff509/Hobow71/8411006.jpg)
I learned a lot and I'm really proud of these and would love to keep them but I will like even more to see the look on his face when I give him the arrows this Friday after work.
The shafts, clamp and feather burner used had all belonged to his father-in-law.
Thank you to all of you for the help!
Brad

We bought my nephew and his best friend their first bow's this summer ( Maddog Pup's ) and I wanted to make their arrow's instead of buying them. I wanted to use wood for they are cheap and I could get a little taste of making wood arrows for the first time. I used a thread by Rob in the How-to-Resources to make the boy's arrows. They came out really nice. Thanks for posting that how- to thread Rob, the boy's just love their arrow's.

The yellow feathers are on Douglas Fir test shafts from Braveheart, and the greens are on Ash shafts that I bought while I was Kzoo. I'm pleased with both woods, but I'll be using the Ash for moose hunting.
I'm still in the tuning phase, so the feathers are a bit messed up.
I used Minwax stains and sealer (quick dry oil based poly). I did the cresting with Sharpies.
Sure like shooting these woodies. Now I have to figure out what to do with all the aluminum arrows I have. Suppose I could turn them into pea-shooters for the neighborhood kids!

I recently bought a lot of archery stuff from a past (deceased) friend's collection. In it were a dozen arrows that I had made about 15 years ago, and several partial sets by a well known arrow technician by the name of Kenneth Byrd. I didn't photograph the arrows that I made but did photograph some of the "Byrd Built" arrows. I'll try to show them later.

I was asked to make 4 dozen arrows for a guy. He wanted pink and yellow. This is the first dozen...3 to go. I think I'll be seeing pink and yellow in my dreams when I'm done! :eek:

Surewood shafts 60-65 spine, dyed southern pecan, crown dipped orange, crested in black and gold. The bright area in front of the nocks are reflective orange tape that matches the crown and nocks but lights up with the camera flash )or flashlight).

sorry about the quality but these are photos of prints- taken back when digital didn't exist and acme premiums and bohning lacquers was what everyone used.
Above was a personal set of compressed ramin shafts I used to get from John Yacalavich in IL - those were my favorite shafts- straight as an arrow (pardon the pun) and tough as nails. So tough pigs had a hard time breaking them!
(http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e322/rayhammond123/selfnockedwrappedfletchwoodies.jpg)
This is a set of self-nocked shafts that had tied on fletching, with the front wrapped rather than a bead of glue, and lacquered like a fly rod ferrule. 40 year old true flite natural turkey fletch. The nocks had buff horn inlaid in the thoats and they were tied as well. Wish I had better pics but that's it.

I like the way stain brings out the grain in doug fir also Mike. Just finished these. I used ebony stain which goes well with the barred feathers.

The Art of the arrow. I have 2 dozen from Snag that as we've seen are "pretty nice"!!
First tapered shafts and 4 fletch I ever had and that's the combo from now on.
I have a new Zipper in the works and will need a red themed set for it.
This thread could be like the Hill Bow thread, it doesn't have to die...Keep makin' and postin' them!

That see-thru effect behind and under the fletching is stunning!
As is the cresting over the stain.
Makes me want to plan ..... really plan .... what I will do next.
My first efforts were 100% inspired by reading this thread.
not great ..... but as a first effort I was happy with my results.

But shows the fletch colors I used.
(http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg51/rafaelmacia/Crested%20Arrows/photo.jpg)
The cresting combinations are endless!
but,
I think I like ... without a crown dip ....better than with. It's nice to see wood under the feathers.

my latest ..... been shot some .....
(http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg51/rafaelmacia/Crested%20Arrows/photo-1.jpg)
trying to figure out a pattern which fits the "color combination" of my mind's eye. (think Scottish plaids)
btw,
I found a great paint. The enamels never really worked that great for me. i.e.. on these particular pre-finished shafts enamel had a difficult time covering over the dark stain. ( I since have stopped buying pre-finished shafts with the dark stain finish, in favor of shafts I have stained myself.)
Ok, about the great paint .....
Enter Home Depot / Behr paint samples.
Water base ... but with primer built in .......
and this is the good part.
Samples are 8oz. and cost about $3. They will make up any colors for the same price.
I actually brought different colored feathers and spent time matching feathers to colors using their paint charts.
(that was different for Home Depot to see)
The paint covered very well, and did not need a second coat. It covered, over the dark stain of a prefinished shaft, where the Testors would not.
Final finishing with 4 or 5 coats Minwax wipe on poly, (Japan Dryer added to the poly, to speed drying, ((like 10 drops per oz of paint))
The oil based poly wipe on minwax Satin gave good results.
I think I am through with oil based paints for cresting.

I still have not settled on a particular pattern, or color combination for any of the arrows I make. What I have settled on, or rather, what I seem to always do is stain the shafts a shade darker to the nock end. So all my arrows, no matter what color combination, have the same stain; dark/rear to light.
Also, I avoid crown dipping.
I think it looks nicer to see the arrow past the feather.
Showing the arrow through the cresting pattern I also like.
I did two other dozen, which I will photograph alongside these. Each is a different cresting pattern.

These are POC stained, wipe on poly with a white cap and purple marbling. My photo skills leave a lot to be desired.
My next project will be trying to add some cresting.

I forgot. These are for the beautiful bow I got from canopyboy in the bow swap.

I now use screw on on all my shafts brass, steel 5/16 and 11/32. you can even mend a broken tip if you have to when out in the woods, just carry a couple of spares in your pocket and a taper tool or even shape with a knife if you have to. Also you can easily swap tips for different weights when tuning a new set of arrows.

My usual stains, leather dyes and permanent markers under MinWax poly. No paints or lacquers. Have also become a full convert to Bohning fletch tape. :thumbsup:

ALL the arrows here show what fun can be had adding a personal touch to a practical object.
I hand-taper the last 12" and crown/crest even my stump and bunny arrows. You'll only get so many opportunities to launch an arrow in the outdoors. Make them all your best shot.

Ron, it's all in the fun! My crestings look like a child did them but I did it without the aid of a cresting machine (I just hand spun the shafts between two books and held my brush as still as possible).
Keep working at 'em and with time and effort you too will be making works of art. :thumbsup:

Post by: Bud B. on April 04, 2014, 08:16:00 AM
Thanks :)
Those yellow/black/green ones I gave to my wife. The green/black/white I gave to my wife's co-worker. They both are teaching horseback archery at a local Girl Scout Camp. Hence the GS colors on the green/white ones. I added the black just to divided the green/white. The silver hides my wavy edge of the base colors. I can see where a top notch cresting machine would do well. The grommet on my Bohning cresting machine needs replacing.

Just finished these Surewood Shafts. Stained the crown area with ebony stain and the front end with walnut stain. Love the look of douglas fir when stained.

I received a dozen douglas fir shafts from Surewood yesterday. I plan on taking my time to see if I can make some arrows worth showing off. There are literally a million ideas in this thread that keep me working to figure out which way to go.
Is anyone else making any new batches of woodies to share photos of? Put 'em up!

I used Mike Vines method of marbeling (excellent thread in the How-To Forum), but experimented with the base coat. That caused my Testors to run when I applied my Wipe-on Poly.
I am also experimenting with a 2 Fletch, 5" shield back feathers, with helical.

"thanks for this thread! This reminds me that I need to get back into wood..."
Having still not done it, I am once again being reminded. Incredible arrows fellas. A lot of love being put into these. Next year I will not be shooting the bow I am now, I'll be shooting a snakey self bow made by my bowyer mentor and backed in snakeskin of my own procurement. It just wont seem right not to match them with some carefully made woodies. I'll be adding to this thread in a few months, mark my word!!!

Here's a few that I've chosen to be the caretaker of for now. Someday I will pass them on to someone that can appreciate their history but for now I'll share them with you.

These Sweetland Forgewood Hunters were ordered March 27, 1968.

Note the person ordering the arrows specified "no orange". Apparently he didn't like pink either because they were never used. They came with 1964 Bear Razorheads installed

Ebony stain, Kirk. The German pine has a nice grain like Doug fir, any stain looks good on 'em.

Success!
One for the old guy!
These are douglas fir shafts from Surewood Shafts...of course. I put a tail taper on them and bought the turkey feather fletching from Josh Echterling.
The forward part of the shaft is stained a dark walnut. As is the nock end.

A friend gave me some 80/85 Sweetland Forgewoods shafts. I thought about making them into some arrows for myself...but it being Christmas, I surprised him and made them up and gave them back to him. I told him I had something for him. He responded, "a lump of coal?". I told him he must have been a pretty good boy this year. Sure is better to give than to receive.

For some reason I only make 3 at a time! Not sure why. These three turned out looking like boy scouts. The stain is alcohol based golden pecan. It makes a fiery look to the grain.

Sitka Supreme
The woods are quiet when the sun goes down
The rustling of leaves is the only sound
A buck appears as if from a dream
you're ready for him with a Sitka Supreme
Ramrod straight and tough as nails
A darn good arrow for hunting Whitetails
When the moment of truth rolls around
your Sitka Supremes won't let you down
(http://www.shrewbows.com/2007_images/SitkaSupreme.JPG)
Gotta love Sitka shafts.
