The most common river cane I'm familiar with is arundo donax. Yes, it's smoother than bamboo and similar in appearance but much different otherwise. It has very thin walls and doesn't have enough strength for a suitable bow. It will split like bamboo but those split sections will break easily unlike bamboo. Arundo donax is very lightweight. I've really tried to use it for a bow but it just doesn't work out. The only way I've seen it made into a bow is by bundling/lashing several unsplit canes together. This is a very awkward and crude way to make a bow.

I've made a few bows from very dry bamboo and it works very well. <br />As far as gluing two strips of bamboo together for more strength, you wouldn't want to use glue, you would need to lash the pieces together with hemp or jute or whatever material you have.<br />Right now, I'm working on a bamboo bow about 56 inches long and instead of making a separate wood handle, I'm leaving the center of the cane intact as the handle.

You can also use river cane. River cane be found in the wild of in south-central and southeastern United States as far west as Oklahoma and Texas and as far north as New York. It looks like bamboo but it is much smoother. Also the node sections on the out side dont stick out as much as bamboo so you don't have to smoth them down much.

I'm about to try and make one from bamboo. Just wondering about the handle section - I imagine one could also achieve a 'handle' by leaving some length of the bamboo un-split around the centre of the bow. So sort of scoop out the two splits starting from a few inches either side of the centre. If the bamboo diameter is slightly large, you could also shave some flesh off the sides to shape a better grip. Do you see any advantage / disadvantage to that approach?

The fixation of both professional and amateur bowyers to achieve perfect symmetry in both upper and lower limbs cannot be attributed to anything but aesthetics. Please take a look at Japanese bows [Yumi] to see that the top limb is almost twice as long as the bottom and they shoot with remarkable accuracy. This shows that, in survival situations, there would be no need to use two pieces reversed to achieve a working bow. In fact, I have used round green bamboo with simple string notches cut in and spider-wire type braided fishing line for a string [multiple strands] to shoot [admittedly shop bought] arrows as accurate as my fiberglass Ben Pearson 42" 50 lb recurve bow at 40 feet.

Flex a stick then bring your hands closer together and see how much stiffer it is. <br />The material used is not so important as the overall effort to flex the bow. The thicker the stock material, the greater the draw weight for any given wood. <br />The bamboo bow Hank made is great. I do doubt that reversing the bamboo [with outside of bamboo at backing] will weaken the bow. I've seen many made opposite to Hank's which have been very serviceable. In reality, most native bows were primative but effective. The making of good arrows was and remains the major drawback in bow <br />hunting for survival. <br />Rob Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10733766070854965149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024181205545465340.post-50305137964525957442017-02-04T23:14:25.815-08:002017-02-04T23:14:25.815-08:00I like quick survival skills that can come in hand...I like quick survival skills that can come in handy at any given time while in the wild.

If you are going to pull a bow to your full draw length it needs to be at least 64 inches nock to nock. Many native shooters don't use the English method of drawing to an anchor point like we do. Many Native Americans drew the arrow to the center of the sternum, actually pushing the bow out at the same time as pulling the string back. Hence a shorter draw length and a shorter bow. I have read that the average native American bow was around 52" with some being much shorter.Sensible Survivalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01783624792201899315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024181205545465340.post-66423233702440741512016-12-12T14:25:13.782-08:002016-12-12T14:25:13.782-08:00So, I understand the need for a shorter bow to imp...So, I understand the need for a shorter bow to improve the weight, and consequently the power of the bow overall, but for someone like me, who is 6'5 and with a 32" full draw, would a bow the size of yours work?<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10751809345352074368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024181205545465340.post-85341394781848640862016-12-10T19:01:06.272-08:002016-12-10T19:01:06.272-08:00Tony, I use Tite-bond three for gluing wood bows. ...Tony, I use Tite-bond three for gluing wood bows.
