Hey I'm new to wood arrows. I have been shooting carbons with my selfbow for hunting and the 3d people around me make us shoot wood arrows. I want to go cheap so I'm thinking sealing my arrows with linseed oil. Unless anyone can find me a cheaper place than 3 rivers :)
-
I find Tru-oil to be the best.
-
I use Tru-oil on most of my shafts. Cheap, quick, easy, effective. Polyurethane will also work. On true primitive or replica arrows, I use bear grease.
-
What Steve said. Bear grease makes some fine biscuits too. 8)
-
Ok. Ill try some linseed oil first cuz I have it but ill order some tung oil too!
-
Get some 3/4" PVC and a 3/4 to 3" adapter glue them together and cap on the opposing end and bam you have a dip tube. Fill it with an oil based poly. Dip, hang X3 and bam finished shafts

I use'lly use spray polly. But have used wax alot on shoot arrows. There's no better water proffing than wax. Heated wax soaks into the pours. OILS AND POLLYS cover the wood to seal. Also wax lets the wood breath this along this age helps shoots stay straight.

urathane. cheap, super de duper effective, and it doesn't gloss... i use it on locust, ceder, and oak shafting.
I don't seal my cane shafts. ever.
-
I use teak oil. It soaks into grain well, drys quick to touch, can buff up with a wool sock, and is not greasy.
