I was thinking of buying a big bundle of them and trying them out. Any experience with them?

lot's of guys at tradgang.com do. They make a cheap arrow called a "nutter" with them.
From what I recall, big batches yeild differing quantities of spine, weight, etc. Grain is light to non-existant. If you do a search there on "ramin" or "nutters", I think you'll find enough to keep you quite busy

I haven't tried ramin yet. If I can find someone who carries them long enough, they're always out of stock. A friend of mine tried a dozen though. He said they were very nice shafts, very straight, right out of the box. But after he stained 'em and put a couple dips of gasket lacquer on 'em, he said they went all kinds of crooked.
From what I've heard, chundoo (lodgepole pine) is better than ramin.
Have any of you tried Ramin wood shafts?
