Great work. Im building a set of Atlatl darts from river cane. Great material to work with.
Very cool 😎👍
Outstanding, well done!
Thanks!
Awesome video.
Thanks!
You could most likely get a bow out of the one with the checking in the sap wood, you'll likely just have to go down an extra growth ring. I loved your sinew backed hickory bow you made in a different video,.
Thank you!
I have been making bows and arrows for about 40 years and learn from my grandpa. We use Osage, locust or mulberry for the bows and cane for arrows which we cut during winter. I was noticed that the cane you use has a groove down the side of the section between the nodes and that creates a slight zigzag. The cane we have has none of those grooves and have longer sections between the nodes and I use these for my arrows. If you would like you can email shipping address and I can send you some of my cane to try and if you like it better than yours I can Evan send some root part so you can grow it. It makes lighter and faster arrows and grows somewhat straighter.
That sounds awesome! What is your email?
Great job. I deal with rivercane myself thank you for sharing. It can be used for thousands of things
Amazing
Thank you!
Outstanding! I've been trying to repopulate river cane, in my area, just for this purpose. There's nothing else as good, in my opinion. Excellent demo!
Thank you! I try to collect as much as I can. Best shafting material I've ever worked with.
Can't find that stuff here in Canada, but wild rose is my best up here.
Useful stuff, TY.
Muy bueno saludos de Bs As
Awesome video!
Thanks!
Beautiful work.
Earned my subscription.
I used to be fairly serious about primitive archery 20+ years ago. Attended the Mo-Jam then the O-jam here in Oklahoma after moving back.
We have the tall cane here but the type you use isn't anywhere I can find, i read once the South had switch cane snd made superior shafts.
Do ever use hardwood foreshafts? I have used rough leafed dogwood as arrows and foreshafts to some degree of success.
I need to watch more of your videos. I would like for the primitive bug to bite me again.
All the best, John in Oklahoma
Thanks for subscribing! When I first started making cane arrows I would make hardwood foreshafts. Just took me much more time to get them right. I need to practice making them more. I love trying to perfect different techniques of making the primitive stuff. There's always more to learn. Definitely gets addictive!
Thanks for watching, Brett
Wow
Wish we had river cane here in Ohio
It makes a great arrow shaft. I've only used a few different natural materials. I'm sure there are plenty of other woods that do as well. Just have to find out what grows in your area.
Nice looking arrows & heads ... They went through that bale of hay slick. Would you need to touch up the heads after that ? Sounded like some hit dirt on the other side.
They usually need to be resharpened after hitting anything solid. But they are more durable than you would think they would be.
@@FoundTerrain Can you resharpen the head still on the arrow or it needs to be removed and reset.
U can leave it on the arrow. Just have to be careful with it.

You deserve more subs
Thanks!
Great video. What were the weights of the knapped points and the arrows overall?
I try to keep the arrows around 550-600 grains total. A good hunting point is usually around 80-90 grains.
@@FoundTerrain awesome, thank you!
Nice arrow but are you sure thats River Cane you are using and not traditional bamboo? The leaves/nodes don't look like the River Cane I use or what Ryan Gill shows as River Cane. But again nice arrows and if they work for you all the better.
Thanks! I'm pretty sure it's switch cane. But I guess it could be some other variety of cane.
How long does cane last? Will it be brittle by next season?
No it's very durable. I have some that I have been shooting for two years and they seem to be as good as new.
@@FoundTerrain sweet. I’ll have to collect some next time I’m down south
