Little hamilton
« on: April 20, 2013, 12:31:44 am »
I made this little Hamilton point out of half of a bottle bottom. I was going to make a dovetail, but it broke in the notching process. so I concaved the base and edges and hafted it up!

when it says to large just go to paint and edit the total size
if you can crop it that helps a lot. for about 1.5-2 mb files i resize down to 40 %

Thanks for the compliments guys. I think I'm going to start making all of my hunting points this way. It eliminates the trouble of notching, it's historically accurate, and it works just as well. I already made another one :)

Very nicely done. That is the style point I hunt with most of the time.
