Hmm, I've got tons of Canadian hemlock here -- would that work as well? They do look great! What did you attach the feathers with?
are the shafts tapered any?the last photo may be tricking my eyes with the lens distortion.

Sorry to ask so many questions DC but your arrows seem just right for what I need to make, including the material. What is the untapered diameter of your arrows? And the dark bands near the nock and head -- is that a thread wrap there to keep the wood from splitting? And how did you round your shafts? Thanks!
