They look good Mike, those tapers should make 'em fly clean.
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

The poplar shafts I got from Charlie Jefferson(also with Veritas) are tough as nails. Hope you get the same results. I think Charlie also ran his shafts through a compression block.

Mike, did ya spine test them? Just curious . . . . .
