Grrrrr.....freaking river cane

<< < (2/2)

Danzn Bar:
I'm not answering for Chris he may have his own thoughts.  But I don't think the heating effects the spine.  My experience with river cane, is I hand straighten as they are drying and I do one round of heat straightening then sort them by spine weight.  And continue straightening, weight doesn't make much difference to me with hunting arrows +/- 50 grains works for me usually at less than 20 yards.  My matching set of hunting arrows is within 5# spine and as much a 75-100 grains in weight.  And yes to make a dozen matching cane arrows you straighten a "BUNCH" of cane. :).

BTW ....................... Chris is my cane straightening jig working for you.  Maybe Wvfarrier needs to try something like that?

PEARL DRUMS:
I agree with Bill. I don't think the heat changes anything in that regard. I just think you will get a MUCH more accurate reading with a fairly straight shaft. Bill, those two I made that rainy day at Elm Hall spined the same all the way around their diameters. That was strange.
