They look like they have a lot of taper, or is that just the camera? You might make some nice barrelled shafts from them.

Some of them are tapered a lot. They often grow with a little bend close to the ground. I went ahead and cut them low with that little bit to have extra wood for checking as it dries.

I've made and used Yaupon Holly for arrows and they are great. Leave the bark on or they well check. They are very tough, polish up beautifully, they stay straight, heat temper well and are heavy hunting weight shafts. I've found that a barrel taper has worked best for me. I have a couple at the house I'm working on, I'll post some pics tonight.
Cheers
