      I make mine out of hard maple, taper half the hole through a 1″ block and burnish the other half using the chuck end of a drill bit. The shaft turning with a 1/2″ drill creates enough heat to adequately compress and finish an arrow.

        Here is probably the best way I have found to make arrow shafts. I have modified the design to accommodate a compression block as the first block the newly cut shaft passes through, if one is careful of their feed rate shafts come out with a clean compressed finish and are ready to seal.
