Title: Attaching tanged arrowheads
Post by: WhistlingBadger on March 28, 2024, 09:01:34 pm

I'd like to someday make some hunting arrows with primitive heads, maybe something like this.  A lot of hand-forged arrowheads have tangs instead of sockets.  How would one go about attaching something like this to a hardwood shaft?

These tanged arrowheads are designed to be attached to bamboo or cane shafts. The socketed arrowheads are the ones attached to hardwood shafts.

Sort of thinking how drilling a hole for that tang in hardwood might be tricky!
