Staining shafts
I use two types of stains for wooden shafts: Colron wood dye for woody colours (love the walnut stain), and Dylon dissolved in cheap Vodka for wilder colours (reds, yellows and even purple)

Both types need 24 hours to dry, rub down with steel wool, seal and you're ready to seal.

I really like PlastiKote polyurethane in spraycans- it's quick and easy to use, dries hard, and it is TOUGH! I abuse my arrows in the worst way, and I've yet to have the finish crack where the wood didn't.
