help with putting field tips on cane shafts

<< < (2/2)

Mickey:
Jessee, in the article I mounted a standard screw in type field point INSIDE the cane. First the cane was drilled and plugged with a hardwood plug 1 1/2 inches long. Then the plug was drilled with a 5/32" bit taped off about 1" deep for the threaded portion of the screw in field tip. Then the plug was drilled with a 13/64" drill bit that was taped off at 1/2" for the shoulder of the field tip.The tips were then mounted with ferrel-tite glue although you could use epoxy just as well.

Like others have said you could mount field tips on a foreshaft and iinsert the foreshafts into the cane, or plug the ends and taper the outside of the cane as you would any other wooden shaft and use a 5 degree taper head
