Easter Point
« on: April 09, 2012, 01:41:09 am »
We had company over for Easter dinner after church today.  It was a big day and when they had gone home and we were finally alone I got some time in the shop.  I botched a couple points and then I remembered a white spall I'd put back because of it's odd shape.  I thought it'd be appropriate to make a white point on Easter so I took a stab at it.  I had a nice little corner notch going when I stalled it.  I wanted the notches deeper and kept fiddling with it, finally working on it a bit with the diamond file.  When I thought I had it good enough I went for it and:



So, I turned it into a stemmed point.  Ended up 130 grains so it'll make a nice hunting point.  Not quite what I had in mind at the start though.



Happy Easter all. :)

Turned out good George. If i could be so determined i'd have a bunch of arrowheads instead of all those half points laying around the yard :).

My knapping area doesn't have as good a waste point throwing area as yours does. ;)  The piece that broke off actually flew up into the air in front of me and I caught it...and then threw it.  Fortunately I found it again to take the pictures.  Throwing the piece saved the point I guess. ::)  I should-a quit with the notches I had.  Dang this OCD!!!
