I have several dozen river cane shafts that were cut in March. Ready to work if anyone is interested. These are all about 3/8" at the fat end and aprox 34-36" long. I could use some turkey feathers, and would love to try some knapped heads. Also looking for a matched set of snake skins. Let me know what you have.

Thanks, Marty

These have already been traded!

are you getting into or already in making your own self bows? really cool stuff. once you build your bow, you find you want to make your own arrows, then you'll want to knapp your own heads.
i have some knapping supplies i might would trade for a half dozen shafts or so

I haven't gotten to that stage of my journey yet. One day I will give it a whirl. Here is my first selfbow made in 1998. Hickory 64"NTN, 2" wide, 55@28.

I have some knapped heads,(flint and obsidian) and am in need of a half dozen cane shafts that have cured. I have plenty that are green, but the season is upon us already, and I am going need more arrows if the pigs keep stealing em.. I have some turkey wing feathers I could part with too.

Me either!!! I have a good source for river cane at our club and I will definitely be harvesting some more for trading purposes. I have a cured bundle sitting in the corner of my hobby room right now.

Good for you Apex, looks like you have some really nice offers to choose from.
