Cook stove.   I use our gas stove to straighten most of my arrows. Electric would work too. You'll just have to play with it to find the best method.     Pat

I use a double burner hot plate, only one burner, on medium heat. When it starts to get moist, sweat, it's ready to bend. I really like cane but have so much old POC and Douglas fur I take the easy way out. Shown is about 1/3 of my stash of POC.
