Glad it got there. The bamboo slats grew on my property. I flattened them, but they would be best if ground down to a knife edge. I didnt do that because the edge gets really brittle. The bamboo shafts are tomato stakes. I bought 6 packets to get that many good ones, but they should be perfect. I have one more thing I am still working on for you but am struggling with. Hope to finish it this week.

Cool! I've been driving Jacie crazy with terms like cane, shoots, footed arrows, etc! I will be putting some arrows together for the bow I am making for her - 35-40# Osage, just have to see witch stave wants to be a bow and which one wants to be a walking stick! Either way, I learn something!
