I’m new to arrow making, but I stumbled onto this technique of raising and rolling, but I was using a wrench handle to roll and was chewing up the surface of the arrow. I have about 20 hazelnut shafts from my trees in the backyard, seasoned for 24 hours or so, to experiment on, and I have a little pulley I can try. I was surprised how much force was required to straighten, especially around the more dense knots, but I used a similar technique on my Yew bow to make the surface nice and smooth and dense, so familiar with it…
Yes man. Ive begun promoting an English Yew hunting bow designed I developed, so I'm here soaking up some more knowledge and trying to connect with some archers. Ive sold yew walking sticks to fellas in the states and i like the idea if my bows naking their way there to. Ive done some shorts if the bows in action and i would be honoured if you would come check em out
Nice informative video, but you really never demonstrated the proper technique that you described. I have been shooting wood/bamboo arrows for almost 50 years and was hoping for more. Thank you for the video, but I'm old and need to see the actual act of using that tool...which I do own. Thanks again.
