I'll just have to give it a shot and post some pics of the finished product.  Thanks anyway.

   I have made a few yew arrows from scrap, the spine to weight ratio was horrible, diameters were too big. Might have just been my small sample of wood I was working with. Nothing to loose but a little time if you try it.

Thank you for your reply.  I may give it a try.there's plenty of things I can use the left overs for.
