I am using a mixture of Poplar and Ramin wood for the shafts....The two unfletched ones are waiting for feathers. Have been down with the Flu and Pneumonia so I am a bit behind on arrow making and other tasks...
In case anyone have never used Ramin wood, It is a great material that spines real heavy and is almost indestructible. It gives the density needed for heavy shafting, and is as light as Poplar..Puts Sitka spruce to shame as far as durability...Just don't tell anyone as it is a secret in the arrow making world...LOL
