Title: Cane arrows
Post by: _Jon_ on January 17, 2011, 10:49:51 pm

Finished a dozen arrows this past weekend at Twin Oaks.  David Knight shafts and Tennessee turkey wings.  Left primaries.  I sure like these kinds of arrows.

Very nice Jon. Well done.
 Frank, those are Tonkin cane and were tempered to get that coloration.

Thanks guys for the nice replies.  It's been a lot of fun to make a lot of arrows this past year.  I learned a lot about both cedar and cane arrows.  I guess like most things in life, you have to do stuff a lot and learn from mistakes. 

Yhanks again,

John

ive been making them for about that long jon.  i really enjoy working with bamboo, from start, crooked shafts, to finished shafts stuck in the target, i like the whole process.  even more than bow building!  i found an old arrow from a year ago, wow! how things change!
