Bamboo Arrows
« on: March 24, 2012, 09:51:21 am »
I pulled this link from another site, this is a good video to watch for making bamboo arrows. There is actually 3 of these videos.

I noticed that his 'wrench' is double sided. It will work no matter how you pick it up. Still trying to come up with a mini stove I can build. Even though it is not in english, there is much to be learned just watching this master.
Bowmakers are a little bent, but knappers are just plain flaky.

Nice find!  I love the mini tatara used to heat the shafts.

Holy cow!!!  That was amazing.  Thanks for sharing.  Ok, I think I"m going to go throw all my home made arrows away now. ;)  It's interesting how he shaved off the outter layer of bamboo.  I'll have to try that.
Thanks,
