I got a current list of the poplar that is available at this time in the sponsor classified's. Supplies are limited. Thanks for looking!

From what I've heard from everyone using these, they're "hell for stout" and being year-long air dried instead of modern kiln dried, they are stable and straight!

You and Charlie have outdone yourselves, Matt!

You watch....you guys will create a big demand and Charlie gonna be scufflin for air dried wood!

I got some 10 yr old oak boards in the store room! Might take a carbine blade to cut em!

Excellent quality shafts. I've put these through some destruction testing as detailed by myself and several others in other threads.....these shafts will take some serious abuse and have excellent flight characteristics.

Oh yeah.....can't go wrong dealing with Matt, either.

Doc you are correct on the aspect of seasoned wood vs. dried wood. Two totally different aspects. Naturally seasoned wood has the characteristics wanted for arrow wood.

Thanks Rob.

Only makes sense, Matt. When man allows Nature to take it's time to stabilize it's own bounty, not force it to man's desired impatient time table, then when man tries to make things with those natural things, they behave better!

Dad was a cabinet maker and felt the same way...want precision from wood? Let it cure in it's own time and way!

Excellent concept you and Charlie are undertaking! Cudos!

Matt
Same can be said for bow wood. I have osage that is DECADES old, and it is totaly different than the 2-3 year old stuff. I love it.

AND, I love poplar arrows. I will be intouch.

You got that right Chuck. Not that I know about building bows yet other than what I have read and learned here and other places from folks that know. Nature at its best. The longer it's seasoned the better.

My kind of wine is "Vintage...Tuesday". But my wood is all air dried as well.

Now you made me Tirsty Doc,

Doc Nock · « **Reply #12 on:** March 28, 2012, 02:39:00 PM »

I didn't say I was out of GOOD WINE...just out!

You CAN get "good wine" w/ a screw off cap, right?

hey...anything over $4.99 1/5th is conspicuous consumption!

Here's the latest set of the Poplars that I made up. Sorry for the poor pic. Phone is getting wore out.

Very nice Matt, stop making them look so good, your making mine look worse...LOL

I've enjoyed working on and shooting the poplars I got from you guys, Matt. I thought it would be difficult getting used to "store bought" shafts again after years of sooting cane and hardwood shoots but these poplar shafts really helped my transition, not that I'm giving up my natural shafting but another good option is always a good thing.
...and like Chuck said, seasoned wood makes a big difference in bow wood as well as arrow shafting.

Great job Matt. Looks very nice, and I am sure will shoot great too.

magnus · « **Reply #17 on:** March 29, 2012, 06:45:00 PM »

Thanks guys. I got to see them fly today and boy was it pretty.

Doc Nock · « **Reply #18 on:** March 29, 2012, 07:19:00 PM »

Pat,

The key seems to be the materail, prior to being made shafts, was "Stored" ...then bought... before they'ze made!

Amazing just how positive the response is and how durable these are being reported all across the country, compared to real, "store bought" kiln dried wood shafting! flipping amazing!

Matt - you make these for Colin?
