Rockhound, unless cane and bamboo are exposed to direct sunlight they'll remain green. The sun changes it, kinda like how it makes osage darker. ;)

Thanks saw filler,all this time I thought they had to be competely tan,I got about three hundred shafts i cut last year.I could have been making shafts all this time. :-\

 Grunt, I've used a plastic 20 0z. Coke bottle with a hook glued to the top. If you want to get closer, sand your nodes and boo real good first. And like you found out, if you use 4' shafts instead of 3' ones, you have more varience to play with. If you rotate the  shafts a quarter at a time, you can also find the stiff side of your cane.

Mullet, thanks, it makes sense that final finish on the boo will alter the spine a bit.
