Making wooden arrow shafts (Power tools)

This video shows the process of making traditional wooden arrow shafts, but with the help of modern power tools. In this fashion, I can process a lot of stock material in an efficient manner. There is a lot of waste in this manner, but overall the time process makes it worth it.

    Good to see you showed the sorting. Not every blank is suitable for an arrow

    Thanks. Certainly not, in a good batch with a bit of planning when cutting. Approximately 30% are useful straight away. And if I include footings another 10% can be added to the batch.

    It does generate a “little” and when making many it is important to take regular breaks, otherwise the thermal extension actually messes with the final shaft dimensions…

    These shafts are spruce. They come from the square as they are sawn from reclaimed planks. And as has been pointed out sawing is hard to do in a round. However you can cork out of split shafts or saplings. Might do a video on it when spring comes around.

    Because, the material he started with was 1/2" thick and he had to cut it square, to properly clamp it in the 4 jaw chuck on his lathe. Also, cutting the 1/2" material in 3/8" strips, then making a second cut, to square them to 3/8", is both time consuming and dangerous.

    So a couple of things here. 1. This process is no good for branches, I might make one on how I treat branches at some point. 2. Regardless of what wood you use, it needs to be seasoned and dry for it to be processeable with power tools. 3. Osage is a great bow wood, not a good arrow wood. So if you have access to decent Osage I’d rather make a bow out of it.
