Actually because I never intented to shoot these arrow and the heads I ordered are 3/8 inch, I just used cheap oak dowel rods. I burnt the dowes to bring out the grain and then stained them with walnut. I think they came out looking pretty cool.
I messed up a lot making the nocks on the first few arrows until I found a good method and the 36 inch long dowels gave me a lot of room for error.
I've also decided to build another set using 23/64 POC shafts in the same manner but put either Woodsman or Snuffer heads on them. I'll also likely use 5.5 inches sheild cut feathers for them as well but will install them using artificial sinew to attach them. They should come out pretty good from what I've learned building this first batch. I plan on using this set for shoots and maybe even hunting.
BTW - Thanks everyone for the well wishes. I'll be sure to post pictures after the wedding.
