Hand straightening works fine while they are green but once they dry you may need heat for corrections plus it helps set the corrections.

So your talking about later in the process using heat and letting it cool ok just making sure I'm doing it right. I'm pretty excited to give this a try

Watching with interest.  Once hunting season's over, I might be getting out my hedge clippers...

They probably should work, but it is soft and first year growth has a huge pith core

I have noticed that some have a bigger pith than others and I figured they were younger. My experience with some larger pieces I have dried is they are very hard and strong. While green they definitely want to split.
