What is the best shaft material?  Thanks For All Opinions

david w.:
depends on what you have at hand in your area.  can you tell us some things you have access to?

gene roberts:
Not specs because I don't anything to make them out of   just dowell rods or something,but I have lots of woods like 35 yards from my house.

Pat B:
If you have woods in your area, you have shaft material! Look for straight shoots coming from the base of trees, shrubs and some annual weeds. Tree stumps where trees have been cut usually have shoot material growing. Take a walk in the woods and look for the straight lines of shoots...before the leaves come out. ;D  Hickories, oaks, poplar, pine, birch, viburnum, spice bush, sweet shrub, horse weed, dog fennel, golden rod, and the list goes on. These are all common names. If you need botanical names I can probably come close.  ;D    Pat
