I don't what I did right but I drew Osage OUtlaw and be sent me an amazing bow! The bow deserves more attention than I can give at the moment. Just want to let him know that it made it, and thanks for a beautiful bow! More to come.

I'm glad it made it there OK.  I had to guess at your stats so I hope it works for you.

alright, here is what my recipient gets  ;D a set of six bone arrowheads, all very close in shape and nearly the same procedure for each of them.

Ok, I have made bone heads before, but never so nice as yours. Whats your method and bone of choice?

so i picked cow bone from a pet store, not primitive, but the same basic idea. Then i cut them down with a bandsaw into sections that were flatish, i then used a belt sander in a vice to sand them flat. After doing that i cut them out on a bandsaw in the triangle shape. Once finished with that i finalized their shape on the bandsaw and then i sharpended  the edges. I put the notches in with a rat tail rasp(sadly i did this after sharpening) as a result there are small chips at the base of the broadhead. I may to a build along sometime, but really its not too difficult, just very smelly ;)
