Good idea on the materials for practice. When you are ready to make some better arrows I would contact someone like Ted at raptorarchery.com for advice and materials.
ALSO THERE ARE TUTORIALS(sorry)on this site and elsewhere on the Internet that are very helpful.
Keep at it you will love it!

the only bad thing about try wood is that i have to get all the tools like, tapering tool, new points, and broadheads

Look at the Wapiti Archery (formerly Rogue River)Website - click on "Arrow Making 101".  Gateway also has a few good tips on feathers at their webpage.
