Arrow shafts are created by using a knife on Logs. This can be done from level 1, but better logs provide more arrow shafts as their yield. Beginning with Willow logs, this can be slightly profitable, but with Maple logs, the profit margin increases substantially.
To start with, test the profit of making one batch of arrow shafts; buy one set of maple logs and a knife if needed from the Grand Exchange. Carve the logs by using the knife on the maple logs, and sell the resulting 60 arrow shafts.
An inventory of 27 logs takes approximately 50 seconds to complete, so players can expect to carve one inventory a minute, accounting for banking time. This results in 1620 logs carved per hour.
If using a fletching knife, more logs can be processed per hour, with each inventory of logs taking about 32 seconds. This can result in upwards of almost 3000 logs per hour.
Headless Arrows
If desired, these arrow shafts can be combined with feathers, to be made into headless arrows.
