How to prepare bamboo/cane shafts???

<< < (2/2)

hillbilly61:
I'm liking this cane shaft making. Have 2 dozen straighted and a few more drying. (River Cane) We have it all over here. I use a little camp stove like a Coleman. I rub some plumbers heat proof grease and heat that area till it has little bubbles. Then bend and straighten that spot. I lay that one down and do the next, till I get through the ones I'm working then start back through all over again. have put some knapped points I made on a few and shot them. They fly real good. Can't wait till deer season and take my first deer with one. Good luck. I think they are as addictive as the bow building ;D
