Willow for arrows

Ryan_Gill_HuntPrimitive:
i tried them too. i didnt like them.  too light spined for me aswell. mine didnt care for the srtaightening process either. they became very weak where i took bends out of them. i used one to hand drill a fire though. worked pretty decent for that.- Ryan

Kegan:
A firend made some a while back for a bow I made him. He just made them thick, and when he was done they shot pretty hard. I think they were like 7/16" for a 60# bow. Can't recall. They worked well though. He took two squirrels with them.

Pat B:
I just went out and collect 5 willow shoots to experiment with. I debarked one but the rest I will keep the bark on until they are dry.     Pat

mullet:
 Otoe,you might try splitting shafts out of the trunk and planing them.

richpierce:
They also shrink like crazy.
