I've just ordered some laminated birch shafts from 3rivers.  So I will try my hand at arrow building soon.  I will either give up or grow into a great learning experience.  Friends here in Africa suggested I try the laminated shafts first because they are easier to learn the basics.

I might ask a lot of questions here in the future.

Since I have ben able to get the Port Orford I have not tried them, but I hear they are straight and fly true.  The same is for the 'hex' shafts made from Fir.  I am not sure how the exterior surface looks on these as opposed to a straight grained turned shaft.  At least it looks like wood!
