Traditional archery does not stop at the bow. Anyone who has once built arrows from cedar knows why some archers never buy finished arrows again: the smell when you cut them, lining up the fletchings, that first shot with an arrow you made yourself.
Product features at a glance:
Port Orford cedar has been the standard material for traditional wooden arrows for decades: light, straight-grained, easy to work, and with that characteristic scent everyone who has worked with it remembers. Our premium shafts are spine-sorted so all twelve arrows in a set match each other – the precondition for even groups.
Why the kit holds two feather colours
A traditional arrow carries three feathers: two matching hen feathers and one cock feather in a different colour. The cock feather points away from the bow – one glance tells you whether the arrow is nocked correctly. A kit with three identical feathers would be simply wrong, which is why you get twenty-four barred red-black feathers and twelve white ones.
Crestings – the step that makes it yours
The cresting is the band of colour behind the fletching. Originally it settled ownership: whose arrow is in the target? Today it is mostly the moment a built arrow becomes your arrow. The marble crestings in beige suit natural cedar without shouting.
Two versions, one kit
The material kit contains everything you need if you already own a taper tool and a fletching jig. The complete kit adds the parallel taper tool for shaping the nock and point ends. We hold only a small quantity of taper tools – when that version sells out, the material kit stays available.
Which bow these arrows suit
The shafts included, in spine group 40-45 lbs, suit bows of roughly 40 to 45 lbs draw weight at 28 inches. If you shoot markedly lighter or heavier, get in touch – we will put the kit together with the right spine group. A badly matched shaft will not fly cleanly no matter how well it is built.
