I never bore out cane. I don't use foreshafts and I use self nocks. Sometimes I do add a filler to the center hole but I use a dowel or bamboo skewer that fits already. TBIII glue will fill in any voids.

I dont. I dont see the need in borring any thing for the nocks. I just reinforce the nock with sinew.

Same here-self-nocks and no foreshafts. Why put a piece of wood on the front of your shaft that's weaker than the rest of the shaft?

I just find the closest fit dowell, chamfer the end and glue it in place for some added reinforcement. Probably overkill, but doesn't hurt.

If you use tonkin cane there is no need to plug either end, with rivercane I usually plug the point end.

I would imagine a cane arrow with dowel would be extremely strong, not to mention good and heavy for big game (with a heavy bow of course:), love to see some pics:)
