Home Depot Garden Stake Bamboo Arrow Build-A-Long (Pic Heavy)
RLimerick:
Great detailed thread. I love cane arrows. It's nature's carbon fiber. I have developed a two fletch method for cane arrows that uses duct tape that I really should post. Love that cane!

I was looking for a slick way of using screw-in points on my boo shafts and I lucked on to Chicago extension screws. The ones I had in my junk drawer are 8-32 thread(standard for points) and the outside dia. is the same as the shoulder on the points (.200"). I found some more at Home Depot. Just drill the end of the arrow with a No5 (.205") drill, push the extension screw into the hole the right distance, add a couple drops of CA. You can see all the parts in the picture. I'm going to wrap the end for a little insurance.

Wrapping is a must on cane......

This is an excellent tutorial! I have played around with the idea of making my own arrows, and bamboo appeals to me on a few levels. I think it's meant to be, because I just found a heat gun in the basement of my work! Will have to test it out and get a hold of some of the other materials. Hopefully my next post on this thread will be some nice bamboo arrows.

Brock, if you cut the bamboo pull it over and cut the top part of the mature bamboo. The new, green shoots are too immature to make a good arrow once it dries.
