from beer bottle to......
« on: November 25, 2009, 05:21:34 pm »
.......arrow point.
i finished my 1st ever primitive point yesterday. it's made from the bottom of a long neck beer bottle. it turned out to be 2" long, 1 3/8" wide and 5/16" thick. it weighs 192grs. starting to get the hang of setting up platforms to be able to push of nice big flakes past the centerline, which you need to do in order to thin it down while still ending up with enough width. it will be special to shoot something with it that's for sure! or should i keep it??

I'd keep it and haft it to a shaft, then I would go shoot a critter with it.

When you come upon a track or trail you do not know, follow it to the point of knowing.
