Here is a primitive tool kit I made with an arrow straightener.  What the photo does not show is that I did not simply drill a hole but rounded the edge on both sides so the straightener would not make a dent or mare the arrow shaft.

This one was based on similar objects found at archeological sites associated with the mound builders.  best of luck.

Here is one I made recently that works pretty good.  The four holes in the handle part are for sizing shaft.  Josh

It works good for the very ends.  That's basically what I made it for.  The rest of the shaft I use my hands to straighten.  As far as not having the right piece of antler, I will throw some in and bring 'em to you next time I'm in town.
