I might get around to trying all those suggestions sometime. For this batch, I was desperate to get some color on the shafts and get the things made up quick. I actually like the way they came out.

Grey Taylor, you shoulda seen the look on the little dude's face at Home Depot when he caught me going through their red oak boards one at a time. He couldn't figure out why I wanted the grain running a specific way when they had so many pretty boards. LOL

Those selfbows made outta red oak boards are pretty decent shooters.
