My third try and making primitive arrows. I have no long arrows to shoot my bows so decided to make these. I used hazel wood shoots dryed for a few days. The weight of these is around 450 grain so they are perfect for my needs. So far I'm happy with them!

All the best guys, thank you for watching! - Навчання та стиль
I've been making natural shoot arrow shafts since the early 1950's and (naturally) your process is very similar to the one I've evolved. But I think I have a better straightening process involving rolling a softened shaft over a curved surface which can yield much better results with minimal work. Keep going...
That's fascinating sir! Thanks for sharing this tip. Greetings from Poland!
in theese troubled times on our world, it is the perfect practice to retreat to..
Perfectly good example for a five minute video. Your draw length was seemingly not near a full draw of a 28 inch draw length bow, but making those arrows was suprisingly simple and easy, and if only all the saplings could have been used to be arrows, that would be much faster work for bulk-crafted- arrows.
Glad you like it! Agree!
Nice
Thank you sir 👊
excellent - I wrap about 1 cm below the nocks to keep from splitting
That's a precious tip from you! Thanks!
Exactly what I needed, TY. 👍
Glad it was useful!
Good job! Thanks!
Appreciate it!
Sweet arrows! Perfect time of year for this.
Thanks mate! Indeed!
Beautiful arrows, great job!
Thanks brother!
Great video!
Glad you like it!
Good job. Try to make arrows from a wild rose, if this plant is in your area. This is the best primitive arrow material available in my region.
Thank you sir! Agree! I like it much more but I have no access to dog rose at the moment.
Very nice and short video.
Thank you a lot!
Nice work as always!
Thank you sir, doing my best!
Super clean work man, cheers
Thanks brother glad you like it!
You do such a neat job with simple tools!
I'm surprised you didn't need to season the wood for the arrow shafts.
Thank you! Do my best!
I've just dried them. Due to low thickness it doesn't take much
Very Nice! God bless!

Thank you sir! All the best!
Wow nice work! They seem to be shooting very well! Congrats! Making me want to try to do my own now :)
Thank you bro!
Muy bueno y práctico hermoso lugar naturaleza es todo
Thank you! Indeed!
Beautiful arrows. I am curious why you don't straighten them before tapering the thickness and sanding them. I would think they would allow you to straighten them even more during the tapering and sanding.
Thank you! Good point. It was one of my first attempts so the technique wasn't the best
They look great. Could you not use the way dowel rods to create more even shape . Good video :)
Thank you 👏👏
Great job, the arrows look great. And wow, that fletching jig got me by surprise 😆, really creative. Do you think I can use that clip to put 4inch feathers on carbon arrows? So I can save money on fletching jig lol.
Thank you glad you like it! Why not 👊
Make a heavy one out of Osage for bow fishing.
Thank you for suggestion! If only I had osage wood
@@DreamcraftBows if I get you three good Osage staves, will you make me a recurve for a swap?
@@crazypeoplearoundtheworld304 Can you ship to it Poland? I could do this
@@DreamcraftBows I don't know. I need a commercial shipping rate.
Do you think knots might make.problems in arrows? I only can find ash but they all have branches
Yes, I'd rather avoid knots
Can you make a bow out of a composite wood material? Something like maple with sections of other woods?
I will think about it 👊
How many time do you keep the arrows under the heat? And how much heat did you put?
I keep it heated until it gets bendy. You can use heat gun as me, but also open fire
Que madera es abellano
It's hazel (Corylus avellana)
Terry curator you don't sell the hazel shafts by any chance do you?
No, unfortunately I don't 👊
Nice one I think all should have a bow handy never know
How did you get the spine of your arrows do you have a spine tester?
I didn't get spined these arrows
Any use idea for the discarded candidates?
Thank you for your comment and ideas! I don't feel great about it to be honest and still learning how to keep my tools in a good shape
@@DreamcraftBows that... wasn't my question 😅
Nice
Thanks brother!
