Yep, I shoot Boytons. Weight wise, they're a touch heavyer than POC (not sure how much, maybe around 2gn/inch) I buy all of mine from Goldflight Archery at £15/doz & Dennis spine matches them for that price. I use the 'pencil-sharpener' style tapering tool & it's really smooth & buttery to work. I find them to be a lot more forgiving of being slammed into tree trunks/rocks, than POC. Spine is measured in exactly the same way as for Cedar, but for some reason, the Pine seems much more consistent.
