cedar vs fir 2 part question
1)My local archery supply store had a box of 60-65 fir arrow shafts laying around, so i got a great deal on them, but when i got them home, they where HUGE! 3/8". is this because of wood density?
2)so, anyway, i made a prototype and they seemed to fly just fine. but, i had to use my carpenter pencil sharpener to taper the shafts, and it wasnt quite right as you can imagine! has anyone ever worked with shafts this size, and is a 3/8" taper tool available? i can't seem to find one anywhere.
Thanks!
Todd
