Cedar shafts of the highest quality, Port Orford cedar has always the preference of many traditional top archers. There is no wooden shaft that can measure up to the qualities of Port Orford cedar. They are strong, elastic and have the perfect weight/spine ratio. Features Sizes: 5/16 or 11/32 Length: 30 inch Natural productBecause wood is a natural product, the wooden shafts differ from each other, in inner and outer characteristics mostly but but barely in diameter. For example, not all shafts are equally as straight, or stiff or heavy. The spine size is also not always the same, because of this wooden shafts are classified and sorted into categories with a margin of 5 lbs. To produce as many equal shafts all shafts are spined, checked on tears and breaks and aligned by hand. Tailor-madeWe deliver shafts in full length, 30 inch. For many people this is to long and the shaft will have to be shortened. For a small fee of €0,10 per shaft we will shorten your shafts to you desired length. We use a special sawing machine where we can be accurate to the millimeter. For even better shooting results, we can sort the shafts by weight within a margin of one gram. We do this in groups of maximum 12 shafts. If you want more, we will divide it into groups whose weights are as close as possible to each other.

Cedar shafts of the highest quality – Port Orford Cedar has long been the preferred choice of many traditional top archers. There is no other wooden shaft that matches the qualities of Port Orford Cedar: it is strong, elastic, and has a perfect weight-to-spine ratio. Natural Product Since wood is a natural product, wooden shafts will vary slightly from one another – not in diameter (as this is precisely manufactured), but in external and internal characteristics. For example, not every shaft is perfectly straight, equally stiff, or exactly the same weight. The spine value also varies, which is why wooden shafts are generally classified and sorted into categories with a tolerance of 5 lbs. To ensure the greatest possible consistency, all shafts are hand-spined, checked for cracks, and straightened by hand. Cedar Shafts to Size We supply shafts in full length (32 inches). For many archers, this length is too long, and the shaft will need to be shortened. For a small additional fee, we can cut your shafts to the desired length. We use a special cutting machine that allows millimetre-accurate trimming — guaranteeing shafts that are perfectly equal in length and straightly cut. For even better shooting results, we can, for a small fee, sort the shafts by weight within a tolerance of 1 gram or 0.5 gram. We do this in groups of up to 12 shafts. If you order more, we will divide them into groups with weights as close together as possible. Specifications – Port Orford Cedar Shafts Sizes: 5/16 or 11/32 Length: 32 inches
