Rose shoots for arrow shafts?
George Tsoukalas:
Wild rose is good arrow material. I do use it. Jawge
D. Tiller:
George, should I let it dry out completly and use heat to bend it or start bending it to shape as it heat dries. Seems its a bit fragile at the moment for bending.
recurve shooter:
sourwood better. ;D (mostly cuz its all i can make. :-\)
George Tsoukalas:
D,. I bundle up a 1/2 dozen or so shafts and try to hand straighten them weekly. When they are dry I scrape of the bark and use my torch to heat them so I can straighten them as needed. Basically, that's what I do with all wild shafts. Jawge

i like using wild rose but since i started using spicebush i wont be using rose shoots for a while. spicebush shoots are harder to find but they are worth it
