Maple makes pretty arrows. Ive made shoot arrows from them but making them from a board is probably even better. Guess it largely depends on how straight they are to begin with

I was thinking of just using yhe shoots. And then attempting to just straighten em. I am being cheap and dont feel like buying arrows due to the last time i did purchase arrows, that are still unfinished

Ya been there done that. Maple is just nice all around. If you have any questions I’m sure there’s a few of us that can find an answer for you.

A stave 68" long and 3/4" thick  Smiley
I'll trade a balearic.
If you are good with that, I need to know sling  and loop length.

Sounds fair Walter. Would you be amenable to splitting the shipping costs of the stave? I think it will be quite a bit more than the sling lol. Ive wanted to get my hands on one of your beauties for awhile now. Let me know what you think.

Sounds good. Ill need to reduce it to your specifications but shouldnt take long. Just need to prepare the garage for wood working and Ill get in contact with you. Also it has propeller twist. Wont be hard to take it out if you choose to but its something to keep in mind.
