BSW Wood Shaft - Spruce - Ø 5/16"
Manufactured from local woods, spruce shafts are an inexpensive and qualitatively appealing alternative to classic cedarwood shafts.
They are lighter and still offer good durability and excellent flight characteristics. Spruce wood shafts are also easy to process and can easily be stained, primed or varnished.
This is not the only reason why you will find more and more use in the arrows making.
Each shaft is unique
Since wood is a natural product, each shaft is unique. Apart from the standard turned diameter, the shafts differ in their appearance and characteristics.
The grain or appearance (annual rings, flames) is various for each shaft. Also, the spin value is always individual and cannot be determined exactly, therefore the shafts are only sorted into categories with a spin width of 5 lbs. In order to have as even shafts as possible, all shafts are hand spined, checked for cracks, reflex tested and aligned.
"Extra spine shafts" and "Weighing out the shafts".
With the two services "Weigh out shafts" and "Extra spine shafts", you can reduce the differences in characteristics between the shafts.
- In the "Weigh out shafts" service, you can define the tolerance range of the weight deviation within the ordered quantity of shafts and minimize it to up to 5 grains.
- The "Extra spine shafts" service also gives you the option of defining the tolerance range for the spine and limiting it to a maximum of 1 lb.

Important notice:
If you opt for the extra service "Weigh out shaft" and/or "Extra spins", please note that the shafts can only be shortened and varnished after weighing/spinning. As wood is a natural product, there may be variations after shortening due to the uneven nature of the wood.
