Title: Tonkin Cane
Post by: lebhuntfish on March 27, 2015, 07:00:52 pm

Hey guys, I have 3 Tonkin Cane shafts that are 70-75lb spine. I have no use for them because all of my bows are around 55lbs or less. Don't know what they are worth in trade but I'm open to pretty much anything. I hope someone wants them, because I would hate for them to just sit and not be used. Patrick

Can't tell how long they are,Tonkin is incredebly tough, you can reduce those to 50/55 , scrape them down with a sharp blade, I use a stanley razor knife, fine sand them and check spine, you will probably do it several times. They end up about 5/16th and you will be suprized at the weight.

Thanks Duke! They are 39/3/8 inches.

I may try that if no one is interested. Patrick
