Rosewood Shafts Question???

<< < (3/3)

D. Tiller:
From what I understand its the variety the Natives where using way back when. Supposed to have been their favorite arrow wood.

duffontap:
I have speed-cured wild rose before by scraping off the outer bark and leaving the inner bark to release the moisture slowly.  It's been fairly successful.  Some rose shoots are pretty much going to check regardless of how careful you are.  After they are completely dry (a week indoors might do it), you can scrape the inner bark off and--wait for it--put them in the oven for a few minutes at about 300 degrees and you'll be able to get them straight in one run in many cases.  I'm just offering this as a speed-cure method.  It's not orthodox but it can work very well for those of us with the time and curiosity.

Like tomm said--it's very strong--even with the pith.
