Hardwood shoot collecting time
Allyn T:
This honeysuckle hasn't checked on me yet. I do hand straighten a little but I've found if I try to bend too much the split badly when green. So if it requires more I'm gonna wait and use heat. I've gotten about 75 shoots so far from this stuff and I'm only looking around work.

I collected Amur honeysuckle here where it spreads invasively. I used two of them to make arrows, they came out nice. I’ll take a photo and post it.
Allyn T:
Thanks Kenneth
Black Moshannon:
Here's the amur honeysuckle arrows I made so far. It was much easier to work with than wild rose, both collecting and making. Also they're a non-native invasive here in PA so I'm happy to get rid of them and put them to use. They are heavy like wild rose and worked out perfectly for me.
Allyn T:
Wow they look really nice!
