Got NATURAL Arrows? (wood and grass content!)

[monterey]

I only had two choices, POC and doug fir.  Don't have any experience with most of the others.  I think the poll leans toward those two because they are the most readily available.  I can by POC easily and hand plane doug fir from Home Depot.  

Hatrick, one of our sponsors here, North American Specialty Gear has lots of compressed cedars.

I really like the spruce.
I shoot a lighter bow..45#.

I get tapered spruce.
It lets me get a tough shaft that's light.
That way I can have a heavy point, more foc and not be way heavy in overall wt.

Some of the best Cedars I ever had as well. Still have four dozen stashed that I got from Kerry just before he sold the business.

Really like the Surewood shafts but hard for me to buy more shafting when I have several hundred cedars ready to taper and build.

cedar flies great (light and fast), but I prefer an arrow that can bounce off trees and stumps and keep on shooting, so ash is my favorite.  You almost can't break the stuff. Almost.

Once you learn how to "make" good bamboo/cane arrows, everything else just kinda doesn't please you any more.

I am working on a boo arrow.. Taking my time so I don't mess it up...

Any links on how to do that?  Thanks.
