I found your tutorial too late, but I see now that I really don't need to buy straightened bamboo shafts from 3Rivers anymore. I made a couple of arrows from bamboo garden stakes a year or so ago, but they're pretty rough :) I'm glad to learn it's really not a stretch to get some nice arrows out of them with just a little extra effort. Cheers!

I shoot 49#@29.5".
When I say I get 3-4 useable shaft from a bag I am talking about a very wide spine range. In other words I am NOT getting 3-4 useable shafts with matched spine per bag.
Hope this helps.

I'm thinking 1-1.5" but it's just a guess. :-\

I got 1/4" for a 60-65# arrow.
Remember this is a pretty rudimentary way of doing it and your are only going to get "in the ballpark" without a true spine tester.
Hope this helps and good luck!
