Very nice, I want to start making my own cane arrows. I found out its harder than making bows. I make some tips out of glass.

I alway figured all that laguer was messy.

I've made up some arrows from store bought bare shafts but never from scratch.

Great looking arrows. Do you stamp or burn your fletching? Ive been burning mine for some time now. Mostly because I messed up my stamps and do not care to make another.

Again, great looking arrows.


Mark, when you get to twisting cane, let me know. I have not had cane arrows in years. It is a real beotch getting river cain straight, or that is what I found out. I have had friends tell me it just takes practice to get it down. I guess im too lazy now-a-days, because alluminum and preturned wood is sooooo much easier than straightening cane. lol.
