Title: Finished a new set of cane arrows
Post by: Weylin on May 05, 2018, 10:13:13 pm: I just finished up this set of cane arrows. They have self nock and turkey tail fletchings bound with elk sinew. This is the first time I've tried the duplex nail field tips. I really enjoyed every aspect of these arrows and I will definitely make some more sets like this after I forget what a pain in the butt they are to make. ;D

Very nice. What kind of cane is that?

Morgan, the cane is bamboo. I'm not certain exactly which kind.

Chris, I can't claim credit for that end of the operation. I bought these shafts already spined, matched and straightened. Well worth the money because you're right. That is a TON of work.

Jeff, I agree that the tail feathers are pretty. They are not as stiff as primary feathers and don't have as much oil in them. I don't notice any problem with how they shoot. They may not be as durable in the long run but I was given two turkey tails and I wanted to use what I had.

I got them from a gentleman named Dustin Black. He's on some of the facebook groups.

Straightening these shafts are a pain.
I finished up a set of phragmites and thought the same thing. And Oh man what a pain in the butt, and actually when it’s all done it is well worth it.

Post by: sixby on July 18, 2018, 02:52:42 pm: Very nice work. Native Americans made sets of five from what I have heard. I made my hazel nut and osiers that way so I could expend less patience. Outstanding to make a set like yours.
My next project will be canes with two flrtch and turkey tails. Yours zre really fine.
God bless, Sixby
