The blocks must be without knots otherwise the knots are transferred to the finished shafts.

The sad thing is there are people out there who would think that you are actually making real arrow shafts after seeing your pictures, plus the same people vote.

Ok, someone needs to ask, how do you adjust that gizmo to get the spine weight you want?
I have studied the picture and cant see how that could be adjusted.  :dunno:

Sometimes they come out stiff at both ends and soft in the middle or vice versa.
