busy hands are happy hands
« on: July 17, 2009, 12:27:43 am »
well i have been busy making a few things in the last week.
i made my first primitive style arrow,strictly for the wall.
its red oasier with a mahgony obsidion tip,turkey feathers and deer sinew.
put a few more stone (well obsidion ) knives together,the little one is orange goldstone.
the little one has a crab apple handle,the large one has black walnut,and the unfinished one is osage.
made some decent points,the mahogony one is my fav to date.the blue on is also goldstone.the large one is
rainbow obsid.,the other one is some kind of obsid with smoke trails and ash flecks in it.
let me know what ya all think and thanks for looking





                                                                                        peace,
                                                                                            tim

Nice work Tim. One question, why hang the arrow and not shoot it ? Stone points not legal in MN ?

thanks guys ;D

ron: that little knife is orange goldstone,it was the last piece i had.it had broke about two months back when i was trying to make
      a larger point,so i put it aside cause it had a lot of hinges and i didnt know how to handle them.the otherday i looked at it and said i can still
      get a point out of it and reduced it down,and it broke for the second time,so i reduced some more and was trying to thin the base some and snapped
      off and said hell with it it doenst want to be an arrow head,since it was my last piece i decided not to waste it and made it into a knife.
      that blue one is also goldstone.

john: yup thats it,not legal in mn.it sucks cause that arrow is damn near perfectly straight too.
        took my sweet ass time trying to get it that way.but i did make that larger mahog obsid,wicked edge on it and its not too thin but not too thick either
       that one will get hafted too, and if it falls off of the wall and lands in my quiver,by accident you understand,when i leave for bowhunting this fall and it just so
       happens to be the one i grab by accident oh well,accidents happen lol

dana:yup i hear that,hell it was only 64 here today,summers all but over.thats why i havent worked on a bow for months,cause winters coming
        and dont really like knapping in the house,but i have done it.i just sit in the room that the has the recirc vent for the furnace,allthat air goes thru the hepa filter
        from there
