Great work! I wouldn't know where to start...

nice job, does one of them fly good enough to harvest some game with ,sure would be neat.

Wow Craig thats some nice work!  Look forward to seeing them, maybe on Sunday?  Enjoy this week end!  Jeff

Nice job Craig-  my slammer is shooting wood only this season, at least one of them anyway.

Great story and great job.

MB they look good this is what I use

Thanks for the kind words guys.

Stumpkiller,I spined the shafts after I had them reduced to the marked measurements. They were 36" long,so even though they were still square on the point end there was enough to place in the cradles of the spiner. Needless to say the weight was different when I cut them to length.

  Ray G., the small block plane was what I used to take them down,you reduce each corner which ends up giving you an octagon.From there sand paper and steel wool take over.

 The only power tool that was used was a crestor. The wood was from Idonesia and was pretty dense.

Mr. Bill, my Slammer does not seem to mind whether the shaft is wood,carbon aluminum,glass,etc. as long as the spine is right.

                  Good Shooting,
                               Craig

Monkeyball, really liked seeing the pictures and the arrows look good, would be good for small game. Bill said one of his Slammers will only shoot wood this season. I have seen him shoot fish arrows, then cedar, then alum. than carbon all on the same course. He ain't right!
Creig perhaps you could makes some  arrows out of popsicle sticks next???

Good job. Some day I think I'll try that.

That some day will be never for me!  But it's nice to see other people giving it a go and solving problems.    

Nice job, but to me why bother? You can buy dowels and turn them into arrows for a lot less time. If you add up your time at say 20 bucks an hour, how much to turn them into shafts?? $60 bucks or more I bet. You can get a matched set of premium shafts for $32-40. Shawn

Nice work, MB - should offer a real pleasure to shoot your own creations. Is this a ramin material?

Nice work Craig! Thanks for sharing.

By the way, why don't ya venture up to OxTar again so I can see those cool looking arrows in person (he he he)  

Both interesting and impressive!

Nice!

Cool.

Hey Shawn,take a look at some "dowels",they make great "snake"arrows. 1 out of 10 may be usable.

 I was bored and wanted to see what the results would be. I was happy with the outcome. Carbons have been my preference of late,hard to say no to their consistency.

 ronp,I would do that but that is the same date as Sawmill this year.

                         Good Shooting,
                                    Craig
