 After some trial and error I finally got one cane arrow ready to test.  I WAS kinda impressed with myself.  until the first shot.  wacked the crap out of my arm but I'm ok and more importantly, my Mamba is ok. and I was going to kill a deer with that arrow this afternoon.  |

The arrow in the second pic looks kinda warped a little, could explain the result. Even so, looks like very good craftmanship constructing an arrow with an arrowhead. Fine work....just needs fine tuned.

if I remember my reading correctly, the Indians in your neck of the woods used cane knives, also- no stone involved, just a long angled cut across the cane*.

I'm making a note to check the library for that book.  How do you remember so many book titles and authors?  I'm quite well read also but I can actually remember only a handful of titles and authors off the top of my head.  oh, local Indian cutting tools; I believe they used mussel shells a good bit for various tools and items. The local Indians were more watermen than hunters and there were no regulations or commercial competition so the bounty was great and probably the easiest way to feed the kids. ;D |

I checked the online card catalog and have to go to E City for the book or pay postage to here. I'll check out the other titles and perhaps make a skillet shot when I go.
re; the roof.
Let me know when you'll be here again and we'll talk.
