Very pretty, like the fletch wraps. i was reading a 10yr old PA article just today on "Tying Off Your Arrows" that looks identical . If you grind antler or bone be sure to wear a good dust mask, your lungs will thank you!

How does the "field tip" attach to the shaft? 

Nice work!

Ahhh, I see.....

I was envisioning drilling a tapered hole in the antler, sawing a nock in the shaft and a corresponding tab in the antler, or all kinds of more ocmplicated and thus more likely to fail technologies.  Funny how I can take something simple and complicate it beyond all reason.  Maybe I have a future with the IRS?
