Takes a while chopping out feathers, putting them on, and cutting in self nocks, but damn it's fun...

Gonna shoot em a while and then mount some old bear razor heads on a few to poke ah deer with:)

Do you have to use self nocks with bamboo or can you use a glue on?

You can use glue on nocks...

They're OK I guess...   

I'm gonna call Easton and see if they can make carbon with the bumps on em to look like cane....

Nice job buddy!!

Thanks ole timer....

 

Very cool! great work!

Roy, that's some fine arrow work! What bow ya gonna shoot 'em through?

Those are pretty nice I guess.....if thats whatcha like. 






Nice work Roy    Now go poke a deer wiffem!

Kenny beat me to it...I guess.
Nice Tonkin cane arrows Roy.

I'm a 70 year old fart so I shoot a 40# bow.

It's a yew, yew, bamboo backed trilam I built with an osage riser and buffalo horn tip overlays.

Roy, I build cane arrows also. Not sure if you do this or not but I got a bag of bamboo skewer sticks at the dollar store and I glue about a two inch piece in each end of the arrow using titebond three. It really strengthens the ends of the arrow especially when you self nock.  This also gives me a solid end to nock taper as well so I can use glue on nocks. I need the buildup at the point end because I use stone points.  Nice looking sticks.  I am also pushing 70 and use a 40# Northern Mist or  40 #self bow.

Thanks, Jon.

Yes I have glued in small dowels at the nock end and point end as well then used smooth on epoxy.

Then either did self nocks or put on plastic nocks.

I've even used larger longer osage dowels with one end reduced to fit inside the boo shaft and then did the nock or point taper on the end of the osage.

Just depends on my mood at the time how I do it.

You know how moody us old guys can be..

Those look pretty neat! Hope you get a chance to test them out this fall!

 

How are the tips mounted? It would be great to see a close up

Well done pretty arrows... Curious what kind of spine you're getting out of bamboo?
