jamie:
as for tapering i prefer sanding the tapers in but a block plane will work . just take off as little as possible with each stroke so as not to tear the grain. mark the shaft in 3" intervals from the end of the shaft with a pencil completly around the shaft. do 3 of these marks from the tip end and 4 from the nock end . remove one set of marks at a time and you will end up with a smooth taper. after removing a mark check the diameter of the shaft before proceeding to the next set to make sure you dont undersize the tip. always do your point tapers before tapering the shaft or you will have a hell of a time getting a point to fit properly. peace
