Sorry, don't have them made yet. Am sitting here working down the nodes and straightening right now (some Phragmites reed shafts from Kowechobe Bob). It's most likely been posted before, but one question before I go too far - any need to seel reed, boo, cane arrow shafts? Thanks, will post some pic's when thier done.

Coo-wah-chobee:
              Npoe Paul, no need ta seal arras ya mentioned. BTW those were tonkin I sent ya  ;) ;D ;D ;D....bob

cowboy:
Thanks Bob! I'm headed out to put the dowls in the ends as we speak ;D.

cowboy:
Whelp - straightened the shafts, cleaned up the nodes, got all the dowls in, made self knocks, broke three, and fletched one - first time to work with real sinew from real deer killed myself last year, hmm could get used to that :). This might turn into a arraalong so you guys that have been there can tell me what I'm doin wrong ;D.

Paul, Your cane arrows look great. One suggestion I have is to cut the nock end about 1" above a node. This will give better strength to your nocks. Yours will work fine, especially with sinew wrap.  Do you chew the sinew before applying it?   Pat
