Port Orford Cedar Wood Shafts

Port Orford Cedar (POC) that grows in a select region of the northwestern United States has long been prized for producing the best wood arrow shafting on the planet for decades. Port Orford Cedar has long been known for strength and straightness of grain that produces a wood shaft of moderate weight and easy to hand straighten while remaining straight over time. ...read more

Our Cedar shafts are produced from the best hand selected Port Orford Cedar logs available. The produced POC wood shafts have a slightly burnished smooth surface that takes stain extremely and a wide variety of finishes to make them weatherproof and long lasting. Whether your interests are bowhunting in time honored tradition or target archery, Port Orford Cedar wood arrows will hit the mark!

Each shaft is hand spined to five pound weight groups for optimal arrow flight performance. The 5/16" are factory spined. Not weight matched, see here for weight matched. Stock length is approximately 32" long.

Available in the following spines:

5/16", 30-35#, 35-40#, and 40-45#. Heavier spines in 5/16" are available in limited quantities only and listed in the drop down when available.

11/32", 35-40#, 40-45#, 45-50#, 50-55#, 55-60#, 60-65#, and 65-70#. Heavier spines in 11/32" are available in limited quantities only and listed in the drop down when available.

Very impressed with these shafts... First timer for building arrows here. Learned by you tube and mistakes. My shafts were strait on delivery. Really love these shafts much better the carbons!! super quiet.. no noise inflight... solid thump on impact. I know carbons are forgiving but these are my new go to arrows now!

Quality & consistency

Been working up cedar arrows for 40 years or so, and these shafts are as good as I've handled. A little steam helped me straighten only 6 of the 12 and the necessary corrections were minor. The finished products fly straight & true and group together nicely. What more can I ask than that?!

I wish you could get an order of 1/2 straight and 1/2 tapered, I'v never used the tapered shaft nd don't want to spend $50.00 on something that doesn't work for me.

Asked by New to woodies 4 years ago

Does diameter matter after selecting spine three diameters were given as options is it preference to shaft weight or what?

Post an Answer
The diameter is not as big of deal as getting the proper spine. 4 years ago

The diameter is not as big of deal as getting the proper spine.

Lookup each diameter and look at the draw weight.  Mine for exam 4 years ago

Lookup each diameter and look at the draw weight.  Mine for example are 5/16 until I got to my 50# draw bow.  It then moved to 11/32 for that draw weight Sent via the Samsung Galaxy S9+, an AT&T 5G Evolution capable smartphone
