when to spine rivercane shafts ?
S.C. hunter:
Hey Guys,
I just finished building a spine tester. I also have a bunch of river cane. Is it best to straighten, and maybe sand down the nodes before spinning? What do you guys think is best?
Thanks, Steve
Pat B:
If your posts set at 26" are rigid you will have to have straight shafts. With one adjustable upright you can spine them before straightening.
S.C. hunter:
Hi Pat,
My posts are not adjustable, however I have dial calipers that I can lower the slide to just touch the arrow, then set it to "O"
I guess I really didn't ask the question properly. As for as the outcome of the shaft, is it better to straighten first, then spine, or spine first, then get it straight?

I spine, straighten, and then spine again with cane or bamboo shafts.

Yep, though spineing unstraightened cane is often an adventure.
