arrows for a trade
« on: May 16, 2015, 06:33:10 pm »
As I understand it, these arrows will be for a 3-way trade.  Dean Marlow will send me an osage stave, and then he will trade the arrows and a bow to a grandson in exchange for the grandson's little sister.  Seems fair.  I hope his grandsons enjoy  the arrows.  Dean sounds very proud of his grandkids, and they are lucky to have him.

Sounds like a good trade to me, if you are a Grand Pa. :)

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Those look like a nice set.  What did you use for the points?

The youngest grandson had his first look at his new arrows and said  "OH YEA" smile from ear to ear. He also said deal on a longbow for his little sister. You got some boys ready to start shooting those arrows. Thanks again. Dean

Maybe it's my eyes playing tricks but those points look a lot like lead tipped copper jacketed rifle bullets. That must be some longbow if it can get those to mushroom. ;D

The tips are 8/32 brass nuts counter-tightened and ground down to a point and polished. They are easier than you would think.

Did the Native Americans think about all this that much or just do it?

Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.

Yes I did.  Although I have switched to using a belt sander instead of dremel tool.  chuck the tip in a hand drill and hold it against the belt sander or a grinder, and it works really fast.
