thin
« on: May 13, 2010, 11:11:04 pm »
 Ever since I got back from Tenn. I've been on a thinning "kick". I've got a few now, too thin. I have to think about what to do with them. Here's a simple little stemmed point I finished up this afternoon.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

I like 'em thin!  But sometimes you can get 'em too thin and loose all your convexity.
  That blue rock sure is hard to stop hitting ain't it!

 Yes it is, that's the problem I'm having. I have to go after that last, little, hump. I didn't show the bottom, it took a dive in one spot. Lost that convexity. ::)

     Nice one Eddie.  The real reason he didn't show the other side, is because there isn't one! :o  He got it so thin that there is only one side to it !! ::) ;D ;D ;D

 It's too big for an arrow, it's 2 1/2"x 1 5/8" wide. See if I can find a Mastodon ;D
