Title: Display Piece
Post by: knapperboy on February 01, 2016, 09:15:37 am

Well guys, with this snow (and the cold) its hard to get moving, but I managed to get this display done for my girlfriends grandparents. (They have tons of Indian paintings and such... but no arrowheads!) I also tried some new tanning solutions on the rabbit pelts and am pretty surprised on how well they turned out! Thanks for looking!

Unique display.  It looks good.  I like the picture of those big blades man you did a great job on those.  They will love the gift.

Thanks man! The points on the display aren't my best, but they are eye catchers which are good for displays like this. The stone used was local chert, obsidian, and glass. It has guinea fowl and dyed chicken feathers with some plastic craft beads.

That is a very cool display. Good job on tanning the rabbit fur. Those blades are nicely knapped. Job well done.

You got a great idea there. I have a bunch of heads my brother gave me. I was going to make a picture frame, but I think I'm gonna hijack your idea. Hope you don't mind, Thanks John
