paw paws

(1/1)

catfishon:
anyone tried pawpaws for arrows ?
i know it gets really hard when its dry, so i cut one today about arrow size to see what happens ?
seems to be pretty low in spine right now. i hope it gets alot stiffer when it dries also.
 

Pat B:
I've never tried it. Try hand straightening every few days as it dries. You may not have to straighten too much by then.   Pappy has a bunch of paw paw at Twin Oaks. We saw it in bloom this past spring.
   Give us a report about the paw paw shaft.     Pat

catfishon:
i will pat, i left it in my truck so it will dry faster.

Pat B:
Some shoots shouldn't be dried to quickly or they will check.    Pat

Minuteman:
Jon , just make sure you leave the bark on til its dry or it probably will check and badly. It will gain stiffness as it dries.
