My first try at cane arrows

<< < (4/5) > >>

FlintWalker:
Daniel, cane is easy to straighten with a little heat.  It's easier if you do it in sessions.  Maybe straighten in between the nodes one day, then the nodes another time and do a final touch up after you mount the points. I like to spin them to see how straight they are.
  These haven't been spine checked but I will as soon as I make a tester. They shoot best from my bows around 55-60#.  As for the weight, they run from around 480 to 580 grains. 

Otoe Bow:
They really look good. Did you cut the turkey feathers or did you get them pre cut?  They look real good.

FlintWalker:
Otoe, I have my feathers ground then chop them myself.

Otoe Bow:
Very nice.  What'd you glue them on with? 

Otoe

FlintWalker:
I lightly sanded the shaft and just used super glue gel.  Not very primitive, but fast and it works ;D
