Where to get cedar for making shafts?
« on: February 17, 2008, 07:58:00 PM »
I made a jig for making shafts out of lumber and made some ash shafts, but was wondering if someone could tell me where I could get Port Orford cedar in lumber form either on internet or near Denver?
thanks

Look for lumber yards in the Myrtle Point area of Oregon. I doubt that you will find it outside of that area.  Arrow lumber is in the form of planks that are 38" long, 8/4 thick, and varies in widths.  That is old growth POC.  Any place that I have found advertising POC on the web is selling new growth POC.  Don't think you will get good quality arrow material out of that stuff. dino
"The most demanding thing you can ask of a piece of wood is for it to become an arrow shaft. You reduce it to the smallest of dimension yet ask it to remain it's strongest, straightest and most durable." Bill Sweetland
