Glad my wife's not home
FlintWalker:
I spent an hour or so yesterday cutting some cane. I won't call them arrows yet because I don't have a clue what i'm doing but I got all of them sorted by diameter, node length and taper. They range from around 5/16 to a little over 3/8 one the big end. Surely amongst all of 'em, I can come up with something.
I'm gonna bundle them with rubber bands. What should I do with them next? How long does it take cane to dry. I've tried to straighten some as they are but I can't get it to work. >:( Any ideas?
Whenever these things dry, i'm having an arrow straightening party at my house, who wants to come? ;D ;D Saw Filer

Man that is a great haul. They straighten so well with a little heat when they are dry I would just wait. Justin
Badger:
They look great, just tie them up straight as you are doing and wait a few months. Good haul there, check back with us in a few months when you get ready to starighten them. Steve.

Good haul, I also just bundle them with rubber bands and let them set a couple month's,,, Also a good idea for the next time is to get you a pair of pruning snips to use when you cut them instead of a pocket knife, saves on the wrist and you can cut them lower to the ground.........Cane makes wonderful arrows with their natural taper and to me they seem to hit harder for some reason.
