New arrow and stone point
« on: August 07, 2008, 04:19:34 pm »
Just wanted to share my new arrow i made last night. I even knapped the head  :o i hope to make some meat with it this year.





I'm very happy with the way the point turned out since i've only been knapping a little over a week. The arrow weighs in at 525 grains.

Thanks for looking JohnK  :)

Very nice arrow.

If you split the artificial sinew into smaller pieces, it makes for a smoother, neater wrapping.

Thanks for the kinds words everyone ! The arrow flys great !! 
I like the idea of splitting the sinew so it's not so bulky.....
