The harvest is on!
Pat B:
After a long winter with record(my records ;D ) amounts of snow for our area I finally got a chance to cut some hill cane yesterday and today. These are today's harvest(160) and I got 30 yesterday and haven't even hit my holey hole. ;D Unlike before I decided to cut almost any culm that is "ripe" for arrow making. Some are quite small in diameter and I want to try to make some kids arrows with them.
It will be a while before these are ready for arrow making. I will separate them into groups by diameter and make bundles of about 15 wrapped with twine or rubber bands and set them aside to dry.
I have talked to a few folks about sending them some hill cane to try and I have a few regulars I always send some to. So, if we have discussed a trade for cane or I already owe you cane for a trade please let me know. If we haven't discussed a swap, don't even think about trying to fool me! >:( ::) ;D If I have more when my obligations are fulfilled I will be willing to share with others.
These are what I collected today. 160 in all but I'm sure some will be immature, some will have worm holes in them and some will be too small.
