What time of year do you harvest the cane? I cut some in a river bed in CA two weeks ago green, thinking it would dry like wild rose or mulefat, but it is very brittle. I found one already dry piece in the same river bed and straightened it and it was great. So does the strength depend on when you harvest?
Excellent! This is exactly what I was looking for. The donax bamboo is wild where I live , but we have little of what people call "river cane" Im glad to see the donax will make a good arrow. 5*****
really excellent teaching technique. I hope you are out there sharing your skills with a lot of people in person, you have some great knowledge and a real simple and helpful way to present. kudos!
It's nice to see that SOME people appreciate the way our ancestors lived. I for one do and want to live like one. Thank you for sharing! :)

how long do you make them usually

depends entirely on your arm length

a good guide is to make the as long as your draw plus the length of your forefinger.
