I've found another method for making/straightening shoot arrows to be really easy. Cut them, debark them, but leave them a few inches long. Lay them out in a cool room and every day rub them straight with a big screwdriver, hard big piece of wood, or antler- something hard tough and round, until they are straight. Continue this everyday for a week or so until they are straight and dry. It seems to help the cooler the room, for it deters checking and lets it take longer to cure, which allows for more straightening. Takes about a week or two of straightening and another week or two of curing, but by then they shoud be good. Also helps to pick shafts close to the size you need, for they are stronger the less you violate the grain. Once straight and dry, just nock, fletch and point them and they are good to go- minimal work. I don't bother spining or weighing though, if you wanted perfectly consitent weights and spines this might not be for you.
