Never mind. I did a search ::) and found everything I needed to know :-\ Hope I'm smart enough to follow the instructions :o

There's a great primative spine tester that Grunt made. I have one roughly like it, and it works great for me. Gives you the stiff side of boo everytime. Not sure it would work for wood though. . . I'll see if I can find the thread link.
Tsalagi:
What's a spine tester? ;) When ordering wood shafts, ash and POC, I just ordered them spined. Worked fine. Then I did these sourwood shoots and got to test shoot three finished arrows before this big snowstorm hit. Those jokers were dead on the money. All three. Was scared I'd robin hood them and there goes hours of work. Never spined them. Never could see paying the price for a spine tester. But that's just me now! Others mileage may vary. ;)
Robert E. Leet:
Haha, I know what you mean. My spine tester cost me the whopping total of a 2x4, a wine bottle, and 2 nails. I just use it to find the stiff side of my boo for nocking. Then what shoots good get's fletched.
Steve Cover:
When testing the stiffness of arrows, be sure to orient the grain in the shaft vertically against the pull of the weight for each shaft
