Test arrows are a great tool and the best way to determine just what spine you need. For someone who changes bows fairly often, I recommend having a set of arrows dedicated to just that purpose.
Straight wood arrows are a good bit of work, but straightness makes a huge difference toward good shooting arrows.

I am ordering up some premium tapered shafts from Larry today, I bet they come to me spined as advertised and straight! I think a tear may have dripped from my left eye after that first arrow flew perfectly to the target last night. God I have waited..........Fletcher I have a test kit now, 40-45,45-50,50-55,55-60,60-65 at my finger tips. All are dead straight and ready to go. My bow is even more quiet with a straight, correctly spined arrow.

Tapered shafts are usualy the straightest shafts to buy commercialy they are usualy straight prior to tapering
AND to naswer your orignal question. YES anyone CAN make wooden arrows! There is no law that I am aware of that prohibits anyone from making wood arrows so yes you CAN make them.

According to Larry the shaft has to be dead straight before the taper process otherwise the taper isnt even and I would assume a wobble will follow? Either way he is going to take care of me as far as quality shafts, hence the reason Lost Nation is my new full time supplier!
