ZanderPommo:
well I'm assuming EVERY one would be arrow worthy.....right Eddie? ;D
I think $200 worth of arrow deserves a little sorting!
NTD:
At Dknight's deserved price of $140 a doz it's more like $280 worth of arrows ;D Anyone who makes cane though knows it's a worthwile price. And he makes some perty arrows. I'd pay it but the way I'm breaking arrows lately I'd go broke quick.

+1 the only time I will justify the risk of breakage and buy a doz of them perty sticks is if I was competing in a trad shoot. for now ill stick to dowel arrows and crookety cane :D
Mechslasher:
you can temper cane to raise the spine if you need to. i only do this if i come up short on spine when working on a set of arrows. i'll take a lower spined shaft and give it a good temper to raise the spine to match the others. after cane solar cures for a month or two, i'll go over it with a propane torch to give it a mild temper and also do some minor straightening while it's hot. a mild temper will caramelize the sugars in the cell walls and make it a tougher shaft. the tonkin doesn't need to be tempered as it's dry as a bone when you get it. i don't even want to get started on how lucky eddie is with arrow deals! ::)
riarcher:
Being just a poor boy all I can do is drool over them beautiful $140 arrows!
But, I'd rather have my uglies that I know are close in tolerances than pay $50-$80 for some questionables (and almost as ugly).
But, If I ever win Power Ball............... ;D
