Cane arrow makers?

I have been looking around everywhere I go at cane/bamboo arrow that people are making. I happened to see some made at ETAR that was just remarkable. Just out of curiosity, what would you have to charge to make a dozen arrows that 1. Was within 5 lbs of each other gauranteed in spine. 2. Was within 10-25 grains of each other per doz. 3. Was as straight as any POC that you have found. I know this covers a wide, near unpossible range for most makers, but if you could do this...what would you have to get for a doz? And I would also love to see an arrow made by anyone wishing to show them to get even more ideas for my self.

I was inquiring with Hwarangarchery and he told me $250 for a korean bamboo arrow dozen.
I don´t think they spine their arows, but I might be wrong.

I cut and made my own but i like sourwood better now. They are very labor intensive. I got some river cane if u want to try.

I love hunting with my cane & bamboo arrows and have had a few people ask if I sold any. I don't make any to sell but if I did they would be quite expensive. The few that I have spine tested were over 90#'s.

Priceless! especially to meet those specs. IMO
If ya figure in the time to locate, cut, season, straighten, straighten, straighten, sand, dye, finish, fletch, taper, (oh yea, spine, weigh, adjust).....At 250.oo a dozen , the fellow making them would profit about 5 bucks an hour (maybe). It is a labor of LOVE!. Terry

Ru**erbows advertises heat treated,straightened bamboo shafting for $50.00 per dozen. Haven't heard anything about them, but am thinking of trying a dozen out.

Just what few I have made, I sure do see the labor of love in them. I know of very few that sell them, myself included. I saw on the net somewhere, that the Korean arrows, fletched and made up except for points, were $30.00 and arrow, and a good master craftsman could make 8 arrow a day. The rate I make them.....I would be on water and bread for a long long time....lol. I have only seen a few arrows recently, that I would consider from a master. he knows who he is, and a very very humble man at that. My hat is off to him. If I can ever get some made for myself that is half as good as those he makes, he will truly have been an insperation to me for sure.
