I've never shot any carbon arrows. Started out with some aluminum Back in the early 80's and turned to cedar shortly thereafter. For years I made my own douglas fir shafts but now I purchase the douglas fir from Surewood Shafts. The fir seems to be slightly tougher and heavier than the cedar and spruce shafts IMHO.
Just a quick look at my charts says you'd want to have a 60-65 spined arrow with a 125 gr point (that's with a 29" draw). That's just what the chart says. Most modern recurves and hybrid longbows that are center cut in the risers tend to shoot heavier spines.
If you decide to go with wood arrows, feel free to PM me and I'll try to answer any questions you have. I also build wood arrows for folks.
Welcome to the world of stickbows, putting the ARCH in archery.
