Building arrows
loon:
Straightening raw shafts is very much a test of patience for me. But it's not hard to fletch arrows and glue on points and a nock.
The hundreds of tonkin shafts I got a few years ago aren't very good quality. They seem to have mold damage (I don't think more than they initially had), and one is pliable when cold even though I used heat to straighten it. Yet they seem really dry. Especially the ones that just shatter into dust when bent.
Pappy:
I would be afraid of that loon, I never take a chance on a risky shaft, seen some break when shot and it ant pretty, I give them a pretty good bend test along the shaft either shoots/blanks or Cain before I start to be sure they are solid and no bad spots, any question I break them, not worth the risk. :) a broke shaft through the arm or hand would make for a very bad day for you not to mention for someone standing close by. :)

JEB:
Agree with Pappy on this one. I have some 60's cedar shafts that I use all the time but cedar is a different wood.
