I am an Apprentice bowyer and fletcher, I focus a lot on viking age archery, but am also interested in Warbow archery and any kind of historical archery.
Here I will post videos of my journey to become a master bowyer and master fletcher, as well as archery events and general archery related stuff.
Have fun watching my content!

What’s the dowl/shaft maker brand everyone seems to use them but I for the life of me can’t find them.
It is the veritas dowel maker. But I think this version is out of production at this point…
Te falta mucho que aprender 😂
Thanks for showing your process. It was well filmed and peaceful. Good luck with your venture!
Thank you ☺️
1800,s victorian longbow
I want to use this wood rounding machine you used. But where and how can I get it?
Hi, It is the Veritas dowel jig. It is sold via various outlets, so best to google and see where it is available for you.
Im shocked how well that works. Must generate a lot of heat.
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…
Hello, you sell arrows 5/16 40#45 pounds with shipping to Argentina, if so, what value, including shipping
Apologies for not responding earlier, I do make the arrows, will have to check up on the shipping if you still are interested.
@@ullrscrafts6045 Hello, how are you, 12 5/16 shafts are worth 40/45 pounds with shipping to Argentina
@@ullrscrafts6045 Yes I am interested, but I must know the costs, shipping included
Hello i am intereses, bat i need to know the price including shipping.
What is the name of the tool that sharpens the arrow?
It is the veritas taper tools
Gloves and no riving knife. Nope. Safety first. 0:56 the board almost flipped back on you.
I have mentioned this in an earlier comment. There was a reason for the glows. I have worked a long time with wood and while I acknowledge, don’t do this unless you know what you are doing.
You probably click on KZread videos just to see if you can call them out on safety. Get a life, dude...
I love this. I just built my first traditional long bow. And now I need arrows. I love your setup here. Would love to discuss more with you about your arrow making.
you could sell your shavings to pet store s...
They go to friends that use it for heating in the winter.
Wish you would explain the sorting proceedure ... we have to guess which pile is good, which is maybe,... and which is not acceptable.... other than that, a very nice video...!-
That is fair, this isn’t really a tutorial, more a showcase of the process. But yeah I could have added that. The three to the left are the good ones if I remember correctly.
Wow, drilling the holes, in the end of the shafts, like that will certainly give you callouses on your fingers. (after a Lot of blisters) 🤬☹😭
Hehehe, in the beginning yes, but you get used to it. And thankfully I don’t spend every day in this display. ;p
Why two size dowel cutters why not just use the 3/8 to start
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.
That is correct.
Where can I get one of those giant pencil sharpeners🤣
Veritas re-sellers.
Where can we buy the device you use to make the square shafts into round shafts? The device shows up in this video at 4:33 to 10:00 mins.
Google is a wonderful thing.
@@zapa1pnt True although you kind of need to know what your looking for to google it.
@@TheFamilyFarmHomestead: Dowel shaft cutter or dowel cutter.
i tried doing this with a wet hazel branch and it just chewed it up and twisted it in half. lol
I suspect (don't Know), the same thing would happen with Osage Orange, wet or dry.
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.
Those are somewhere in between a spear and an arrow lol

"For a school project you know"
Are you looking for a certain number of rings per inch of wood to know I the wood will be usable for arrows?
No, but I am looking at the straightness of the grain.
Hello what sort of wood are You using? Why is You only making shafts from square wood peaces? Is Nordic Pine a possibility in the form as 'round logs'? if not, why then?!?
"Why is You only making shafts from square wood peaces?" It is difficult (impossible), to make round cuts, on a table saw.
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.
Do you sell wooden arrow shafts
I don’t sell shafts, but i do sell complete arrows.
Never knew planks were used and just cut into shape by a pencil sharpener.
It is by no means the only way to do it. It is not the traditional way. And those that do it on large scale use more advanced tools. But for a small to medium scale production it works well.
Why wasn't Elm used more? Doesn't it grow much longer and straighter than yew?
It was actually used quite a lot. Especially in wales and Scandinavia
@@ullrscrafts6045 are 84 inch elm staves common?
It depends. In good soil conditions here in Norway yes. An in this case good actually refers to conditions that makes the tree grow slowly. If it grows to fast it doesn’t make good bow staves (at least not heavy bows)
Elm is suceptible to chrysals on the belly, Yew is a more elastic wood and generally tends to last longer and doesnt take much set. Elm however was used extensively in Northern europe. Its an underatted bow wood in my opinion.
@@almubarizunarchery4607 I've never had Elm Crystal on me, you just have to make it wide. But I use American red elm
Oh my gosh, that's really look fun.
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.
Did you make the shaft planer? Can that tool be made cheaply? (The device to round out the square shafts) Very nice video. Also you are a good worker. Thumbs up.
No the shaft planer is a dowelplaner from Veritas
@@ullrscrafts6045what size are you using and what final size do you plane or sand to?
All you see is a guy turning wood, no explanation of what tool is used, totally useless.
Seems to be a BIG secret on what tool being used. Too bad for the tool maker
Depends, I do not pretend to teach. I only show what i do, if people enjoy watching that, I very much appriciate it. There are tons of educational videos on woodworking. this channel is not one. This is just a guy working with wood, and making videos about it.
Or Stivie, I just ain`t that often here checking the comments :) I have answered the question multiple places, it is Veritas`s dowelmaker. And i doubt they suffer in sales from a small guy like me being late to reply. Hope that satisfied your curiosity :)
Y’all are lazy af….took 30 seconds to find this. “Tool for arrow shafts” bam first link….be better stop being lazy and creating terrible comments
@@tmarshmellowt: Absolutely! As I tell many people, posting such foolish comments, "Google is a wonderful thing".
Γειά σου φίλε μου από τι ξύλο είναι? ευχαριστώ
Believe it to be cedar
He says a mix of pine and spruce that he separated into different piles.
As Andrew says, it is a mix of pine and spruce, variouse bits of wood from a construction site
Lose the gloves when working on a circular saw,
No worries, know what i am doing, there was a reason for the gloves, and they were no where near the blade ;)
@@ullrscrafts6045 Thanks. That’s what happens when you work for a safety supply company. Be safe mate!
No problem, it’s good you keep an eye out on safety. 😉
May I ask where you got your dowel tool?
Veritas.
All right!!!! Man
Imagine being hit by one of these. The irreversible damage to the body must be absolute
Deffinatly would not want to be hit by these. thankfully they did not exist in the historical record
What was the corkscrew one all about?
I think its Some kind of flaming arrow where you can wrap a piece of cloth drained in oil
Sorry to burst your dream. while it plausibly could have been holding some kindling for fire, it is a joke arrow. Made purely for fun, and the joke of people trying to guess what it is used for
With tools you use wat are the nummers of the sandpapers how you ghet that mirror steel
starting at 100 grit and working up to 2400 grit, finishing with silver polish and a lot of elbow grease
Hi man. What kind of tool are you using?is it a Veritas dowels tool? What size are you using? Thanks
The veritas tool yes. and i start with the 1/2 inch and then the 3/8
I love you man , this method I like I will definatly try it !
Good luck! it has saved me a lot of time.
Nice bow...
Thank you! Cheers!
Pleaseee, How heavy would those points be? I imagine north of 300grains.
More, I don't have them anymore, but seem to remember them being around 170 gram
@@ullrscrafts6045 thanks a lot
Nice tools... 😍😍😍
Yes they are! thanks
좋은 영상이다.
Sorry I don`t understand your comment, had to run it through google translate, it says "good video" if so thanks!
Was any damage done to the head from the impact with the wood?
Actually unknown as of yet. The head is still stuck. We are going to split the log once the event is over 😝
@@ullrscrafts6045 😂
Thabks for sharing.. is beneficial.. What type of wood that u used for these war arrow? Very glad to have info on the war arrow shoot with 100# bow..thanks mate.😇
These arrows were made out of spruce. They are also a bit of a free Fantasy project, and not actual arrows. Although they are up scaled versions of existing arrows. As for war bow shooting, due to an injury I’m currently shooting sub 100 bows, but hope to get back into the heavy weight soon again.
Are you using reclaimed pine furniture to make them? Really like your set up for this
These are reclaimed materials from a recent house renovation job I was on. Mostly wood panelling. There is a mix of pine and spruce. I sort them in separate piles in the sorting stage.
@@ullrscrafts6045 thats a great way to do it. Thanks!
You are welcome!
