RE: Hand Straighening Port Cedars
The ones I'm not using (finished arrows) are stored in cardboard display boxes (a hole for each arrow) that I got from an archery shop that closed. Arrows that are in use just sit in my quiver, however it happens to land. Unfinished shafts are rubber-banded and stand upright (probably not the best way to store them) in a box.
I use an epoxy recipie to seal them--wipe on several coats. It's the best arrow finish I've ever used--I reckon it's a variation of Jay Massey's epoxy bow finish--real tough. Spray-on finishes always stuck in the targets like glue, and I gave up on gasket laquer a few years ago--just not durable enough for me (goes on quick and easy though).
