thanks for the advice. i did a lot of straightening last night and will do some more right now! got the packages at home depot with a gift card. got 2.42 left on it so i think ill get another package! hehe. also, is it cheating if you use power tools to get the same result? i feel like im cheating using a dremel on the low setting to cut down the nodes :-\
Justin Snyder:
It is only cheating if you destroy a shaft. But then you are only cheating yourself so do what you please. ;D

im getting pretty good at it now. does anyone have any pics of their finished straighted shafts before fletching and points? also, does anyone have any close of pics of their nodes that dont file them all the way down?
Pat B:
None of my cane or hardwood shoot arrows are as straight as arrows. With the nock and point lined up they will shoot fine. Also I usually don't sand down nodes but heat them and compress them by rolling them on a hard smooth surface with a block of hardwood. This makes them almost the same diameter as the internodes. I like my cane arrows and shoot arrows to look like what they are.
Here are a few pics of finished arrows. I hope you can see the detail well enough...
