I like the how the cane ages to. It turns to a caramel'ish color as it ages. Love the stuff! I guess I could be labeled a "Canehead":)

Patrick, are those hill cane? they look like it.     Probably your dry climate has a lot to do with them cracking(I guess checking).

I like to scrape the rind off because it gives it more of a wood grain look.  Lately I've been experimenting with putting burn marks on the cane.

Those burn marks looked cool Clint. I am going to do that with my hunting arrows.

That makes it easier for ME to find his arrows behind the target gut:)

The wheelie guys have the little flashing lights in their nocks. Maybe the next step is nocks with sirens and maybe ones that shoot off flares ;D ;D

Those are easy nocks  ;D   They save me a lot of time.

Pearly usually finds my arrow while he is looking for his behind the target.

interesting....one of the many great things about river cane is spine tolerance..I can shoot cane with 15 lb range and fly perfect...of course they are foreshafted... tough as carbon, lightweight (one reason foreshafting improves penetration and FOC) water resistant naturally, easily straightened , and quite honestly the easiest type of arrow to make... plus NOTHING looks cooler than a foreshafted cane arrow with turkey feathers tied with sinew...and a stone point...it is the epitome of primitive.. gut

What does FOC mean?

front of center, by adding a foreshaft it moves your FOC forward .. so for example your balance point is let's say mid shaft..adding foreshaft move the balance spot forward ... or FOC
