yall have got me determined.
recurve shooter:
wow, thats nice work cowboy. so all ya do is heat and hand bend till they are streight?
cowboy:
You caught me Steve ;D, yeah - that one on the right does still look a little snaky in the pic. Need to build one of those shaft straighteners to use rather than my thumb, man it's sore hehheh ;D.
That's right recurve :). Have your heat source fired up, rub a little oil on the section your working and heat till the oil turns black - only takes a few seconds. then wipe off the oil and start straightening - eyball down the shaft each time you bend it. Like Hillbilly says - it'll go easier and faster with time. I like to heat up the whole section between the nodes first, once all those are done it's pretty easy to straighten out the nodes.
Hillbilly:
Paul, I'd be about sure that the stuff on the left is Japanese arrow boo. It makes great arrows, too.
Little John:
Nice stash Cowbow, I wonder how they spine and how consistant foer weight? Kenneth
cowboy:
Steve, I'm going to bring a bundle of em to Pappy's. That way you can inpect em first hand and maybe ID em. Don't have any leaves or anything - just the shafts.
