500 pieces of Bamboo

(1/6) > >>

Bushbow:
For anyone that wonders what you get when you order 500 pieces of bamboo. I ordered it on Wednesday and had delivery on Saturday morning. On initial review it looks like 6 to 7 pieces out of 10 will make a good arrow. I ordered the 3/8" by 4' thinking I would have a better chance of getting a good arrow from each piece. Pictures below. I also posted a senseless video of the bamboo on Youtube, more as an opportunity to mess with my camera and the Moviemaker software.

Hey I actually do appreciate that.  I will be ordering 500 shafts soon as well and it's good to get an idea of what I'll be getting.  My wife and I have made the decision for me to be a stay at home dad starting in a couple months.  Laugh all you want people she's the one with the GOOD job i.e insurance and all...anyway figured straightening some cane will be a good way to eat up the few minutes that my daughter actually sleeps :)

El Destructo:
Hey Nate....I aint Laughing..........My Wife has the Good Job also....I just work for everything we don't need........ >:D

NTD:
LOL thanks for not laughing...I'm a little embarrassed about the whole thing but it looks like it'll be the best thing for the family right now.  Also I have ways to make money at home so I won't be totally unemployed LOL. 

Sorry for the hijack there Bushbow.  On a side note if you'd like to part with a 3rd of that or so let me know maybe we can work something out.
