someone might have some, but if you cut your own now, it probably wont be dry enough, since its rather cool outside still.  ive got some that i cut back in december, and they are only about half dry.

David Knight can set you up with some very nice Tonkin cane shafts or arrows. He'll be at the classic too so you can show him what you made from his shafts.  ;D

Hey seabass,
       You can also PM Mark (hillbilly 61) I know he's got a good supply of cane all the way up to 100#.

10 bows is a great feat.i am the opposite,i have made many arrow.i have made only one board bow.i got in a hurry and it developed a severe hinge in one limb.i can't wait to make arrows from the cane.i have used bamboo,but haven't tried the cane shafts.i'll try and post some pics when i get them made,steve
