Yep, though spineing unstraightened cane is often an adventure.

It's pretty easy with my spine tester

What Clint said. The heat used for straightening can stiffen a cane shaft some.
Remember also because of the natural taper the spine value and but used with a range of draw weights.

Yes that natural overall taper can be very forgiving to shoot off different bows.I'm wondering with rivercane whether it would hurt it any to give it a taper?It does'nt with dogwoods but that's wood.Rivercane is a grass correct?Like bamboo.Maybe not since the outside fibers on bamboo are where the power is.
Pat B:
Ed, tapering the outside of cane wouldn't be good but they flay so well anyway it isn't really necessary. I have tapered cane to accept a glue on point but not more than that.
BowEd:
Cool...Then it's just a matter of selection of your shafts then.Kinda wish that stuff grew over here.Guess it can grow thick as hair on a dog.Would like the toughness aspect of the shaft also.
