Now that is pretty.  I had never thought to use turtle shell.  How hard was it to work with?

skyarrow,
      That arrow head is great! Think ya can just about gaurantee it'll get to where it needs to be in some critter. That is a great use of natural materials. Hey the whole danged arrow is great but that head just blows me away.
