Wax currant?

(1/2) > >>

Mesophilic:
Anyone use wax currant for shafts?  I've found it growing all over the place and they look pretty straight with good diameters.   I've read online that it is a suitable shaft material but not really seeing anyone using or reviewing...and suitable and desirable  are quite different as I'm finding out with primative archery.

Thanks again guys.

Hawkdancer:
Looking forward to your test reports >:D (SH)!  If you cut now and peel, they should be dry in a month or so, as dry as it is out this way.

Mesophilic:
They'll be dry in less than a week here in my lovely freeze dryer enviornment  >:D. Now avoiding cracks is the challenge.

Ok, I'll take the plunge and let you guys know how they perform.

Hawkdancer:
Leave about 3" bark on each end if you peel them.  Bark usually is easier to peel when it's fresh cut.
Hawkdancer

Mesophilic:
Thanks, I'll give it a shot.
