Sourwood
JustinNC:
Thank God my kids don't know about it Jonathan!
Hillbilly:
Justin, I actually prefer to find bigger ones and plane them down to diameter-seems like they are stronger and stay straight easier. They'll shrink quite a bit as they dry, too. You can often take sourwood shoots down to 5/16" and still wind up with a 50's spine and 500-600 grains total arrow weight.
JustinNC:
Thanks Steve. Now I need to find a thumb plane. Straighten as they're large or plane down a little and straighten? You guys are a wealth of information!
Pat B:
Justin, $8 at Tru-Value or ACE Hardware. About 1"x2" with an adjustable blade. Works great!!!
JustinNC:
Please forgive my ignorance when it comes to planes....planes are planes to me, biggins, littlins, and ones in between....are there other names for a thumb plane or a size? I see a pocket plane. Google didn't really show me anything as far as a "thumb plane". :-\
