Wood only here, mostly cedars but also douglas fir and Sitka spruce.

Not to spoil this fine thread but I do not agree that wood is superior to carbon actually...no offense.  Carbon is stronger, straighter, as quiet off the bow, will out penetrate and you can manipulate it (EFoC, FoC etc.) in more ways than wood. Also you can bare shaft tune carbon all day long whereas wood does not always lend itself to this.  

Having said this, I have shot wood for nearly 30 years now have pales filled with my own custom cedars, Doug firs, hickory, maple, etc.  I love wood arrows and their ambiance.  Have shot lots of deer with wood with mostly good outcomes.  Wood shafts are most vulnerable just behind the point or BH; on a hard impact they will break there first where carbon will not usually, especially when an outsert is incorporated.

Use wood because you love it and understand it.
