Just got some hickory shafts from Dennis at Hickory Creek.Haven't put em together yet,but they are HEAVY. He said they weighed 600+ and I know the 500 on my reloading scale don't even bobble when I lay em on it!!They are well made,a few little crooks ,but I haven't straightened em yet and I think hickory tends to have a few crooks. I give em a    :thumbsup:    Just right for a big pig!!

How  heavy of a spine do you need? I have hundreds of shafts left over from when I was doing custom arrows. I saved them and use them for trading for things I need/want. I can even taper them for you if need be.

how do the various heavy woods act when your trying to taper them? I bought some ash shafts once; and they were so dense that I needed to have a friend use his 'woodchuck' on them. Are any of the heavy woods ..like Ashbys recommended list -laminated birch- soft enough: to allow the use of a simple taper tool?

Brian I have not had good results using the regular blade type tapering tools on hardwoods, except cherry and non-lam birch; but even there the blade needs to be kept sharp. I use a woodchuck for everything now.
