Title: TYPE 16 medieval arrowheads
Post by: Hoodo on May 09, 2010, 10:54:46 pm

hello all...first post!,
ive always been fascinated with this certain type of arrowhead and i would like to know how i would go about forging the barbs and the arrowhead.
something like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtTyOf8OCKg would be preferable since i like it being rather thin compared to the it's counterpart http://www.hectorcoleironwork.com/images/t16.gif.

I've moved this to the War Bow thread. The guys here are more up on the Medieval was tools.

Hello Hoodo,
J.Marshall is an excellent Arrowsmith if you PM or email him I'm sure he'll give you the pointers you're after, he's a great bloke.I think some welding might be involved for the 'wings'.
John in action (not the type you want though).
