While I'm using Doug fir shafts, wood dowels would work as well. The point on this arrow is forged from a piece of 3/8" steel rebar as weighs in at 150 grains. The arrow is spined for a 52 pound centershot bow, which works great out of this 60 pound Bear Cub shoot-around longbow.

A huge shout out to NightHawkInLight for his awesome tutorial on this build. This forge is his design and is pretty ingenious for what it is! Be sure to check out his video here:    • How to Make a Soup Can Forge  

Here's the torch I used, the Bernzomatic TS8000 : http://amzn.to/1HmyDsQ (affiliate link)

Thanks for watching and enjoy!

Thanks to Jim Keffer of the PSK for the arrow shafts and dowel-making tips!
