Cane shaft straightening

<< < (2/3) > >>

bownarra:
You are far better off straightening the mid sections first.
Then do the nodes.
I can get them perfect in one go with this method. Maybe a slight bend will still be left but almost nothing.
Fit points temporarily when almost perfect. Spin them in the palm of your hand to see if they are perfect. With enough practise you can feel where and in what manner they are off straight.
I've done a few :) thousand....

Start with the between the nodes first and dont backwards...Kevin get with me at Marshall or Mo Jam next year and I'll show you what I'm talking about.
It's hard for me to explain in print.  Can show ypu...

Danzn Bar:
The cane can can be wavy between nodes but the issue is that you need the same wavy between end to end (imaginary center line )to balance out the spin of the shaft.
I have made very crooked arrows that shoot very good that was balanced between the ends of the shaft.
I hope I'm making since.

i use a heat gun too.. best way IMO.. I get the major bends out first.. no matter where.. then start at one end and go to other.. they dont have to be perfect.. as long as both ends line up straight... but mine usually end up as straight as store bought haha... gut
