Thanks Stephen,
That is more time drying than I expected but that is ok.
I will split way more than I plan on using now for two reasons
1. after waiting two years I will make more than just a few arrows, I will make dozens so I don’t have to wait for the next drying to make more hehe.
2. sounds like the variation in spine will cause me to make lots of, ummm, tomato stakes or whatever I can find to do with the ones that don’t spine out.
thanks.
