Sure Dave, I got those cane shafts from a fellow in Arkansas, I can pm you his name if ya like. There are a few different types of cane shafts. I believe the ones pictured above were switch cane. I like them better than river cane shafts. There is also bamboo shafts available out there on the trad scene, but off hand I don't know where to tell you to find them. I'll ask my buddy where he got his, they were already straightened and sealed and were fantastic shafts. Cane shafts shoot really nice and seem to handle different weight bows of plus or minus say 10 pounds draw weight really well. Here is a set of 3 I did a couple years ago, these are river cane shafts.
I clamp the shafts in a padded vice to wrap the feathers. I clamp it tight enough to hold it but loose enough that I can spin the shaft with my hand. Clamp too tight and you crack the shaft, so be aware of that.. Ya need 3 hands to wrap feathers, LOL.. I just work slowly down the feathers, spinning the shaft a third turn at a time to get to each feather.
