cherry for arrows

[dylanholderman]

anyone cut arrows from cherry boards? i have a bunch of scrap i got from a wood worker buddy, some of it i used to build a dulcimer but most of it is to narrow to build anything useful, in that lot of stuff i'm sure i can find pieces with straight enough grain to make some arrows assuming they're worth the time investment.

Cherry should make some pretty good arrows I'd thing but never used it.

Got to agree wit Pat B!  Cherry is a real pretty wood, and should be tough as well.

Sorry I'm late!  Been moving!  That's sort of like procrastination given the current conditions!  I am way behind in getting the primitive skills working again!  Hopefully, soon!  Btw, nice arrows!
