Mike are you shooting those out of your Ambush?  If so what are they spined at?  I'm llooking to make up some Woodies for my Ambush.

I've never even held a footed shaft(I saw a dozen once). Remarkable craftsmanship!

I shoot 60-65# shafts.  I draw 50# with my (H)ambush.

I used regular titebond 3 glue so I do not believe it is oily.  It is nowhere like teak, as in I did not have to wipe it down with Acetone.  I just cut it, glued it and clamped it.  I used waterbased wood floor finish over it, and it dried at the same rate as it dried on the douglas fir shaft.  Others might have a better educated answer, I tend to give a "Non-Scientific Hillbilly Gear Test Rating" when I do things.  In other words, I do something and see if it works.  If it does I go with it.  If it does not, I try something different.
