A couple questions about stain and straitening.

<< < (2/3) > >>

Chuck, I got some poplar shafts from Charlie Jefferson(stringstretcher) a few years ago that he made using the same tool. One thing he found was to start with well seasoned stock. He like his at least 2 years old. After making the shafts he ran them through a compression block. I don't really know the details other than that but the shafts I have and the arrows I made from some are very straight and remained straight.
 Charlie used both sapwood and heartwood and found that the sapwood worked the best. They are very strong shafts too. The heartwood was a little more brittle than the sapwood but it made nice shafts too.

The only time I have to re-straighten turned arrows is after a nasty deflection or a funny impact angle and deflection :)

I always need a straightening session with my arrows after a round of 3D targets....especially cane or boo.

PEARL DRUMS:
Good thing you gotta dozen spankin' new turned shaft arrows, big guy!

Danzn Bar:
Yep, guess I'm spoiled .....may never go back to cane :) ;)
