My first try at cane arrows

[FlintWalker]

Daniel, cane is easy to straighten with a little heat.  It's easier if you do it in sessions.  Maybe straighten in between the nodes one day, then the nodes another time and do a final touch up after you mount the points. I like to spin them to see how straight they are.
  These haven't been spine checked but I will as soon as I make a tester. They shoot best from my bows around 55-60#.  As for the weight, they run from around 480 to 580 grains.

They really look good. Did you cut the turkey feathers or did you get them pre cut?  They look real good.

Otoe, I have my feathers ground then chop them myself.

Very nice.  What'd you glue them on with?

I lightly sanded the shaft and just used super glue gel.  Not very primitive, but fast and it works

Nice arrows, I have made a lot of cane and bamboo arrows and they always feel good in my quiver. I never made the plugs for the ends, just cut a self nock just above a node and cut slots for trade points or stone.    Kenneth
