I just made my first ever bone arrow tip. Stole my dogs bone(: She didn't seem so happy as she watched me sand it into a nice little arrow head. She even tried to chew on it when I showed it to her. Should I feel bad? I'm a thief. Well anyways, here it is.

[ionicmuffin]

its not sharp yet. are you going to sharpen it???

[tgtmatt]

I didn't figure out how to do that yet, any tips?

[ionicmuffin]

well you can use a sander or a file, but basically you hold the edge at an angle to the file or sander, then angle should be the angle you want your bone blades edge to be.

How sharp is it going to turn out? Sharp enough to cut yourself if you rub it?

[lostarrow]

You know when you sharpen a knife and you hold up a piece of paper and just kind of lightly push it through the paper as it makes that sort of swiswing sound without tearing the paper but instead cleanly aprting it like a paddle cutting through water? ..................That sharp!...........................I guess I could have just said be careful!.

[tgtmatt]

Well I guess I better go sharpen mine up!

[ionicmuffin]

Mine could have cut me, its not a toy for sure

   SOME NICE TIPS
  I don't have any to post but I have made a few dozzen  but have traded them off. But I did trade for a couple moose antlers last year to carve but I might make a couple heads.

       Here's a couple things might help you out.
  MOOSE antlers not propous like other antlers.  A drimal makes makeing heads easy and fast. For hunting heads (steel or bone)  I use the 3x1 HOWARD HILL ratio or ever 3/4 works better with lower poundage. The thinner the points the sharper or better edge they can get. You can't really shapen them like steel heads.
  I shot 2 does to years in a row with bone points made of moose antlers. They kill just as quick as anything with lung shots.

Here are a few i made this past weekend.  Due to slick roads, I couldn't get to teh shop, so no power tools were abused.  Hacksaw, sandstone, sandpaper and some files were what i had.



I tried to get them thin for better penetration, even though there are only two that i can hunt with.

Now that I see them on the big screen, i see every mistake I made.
