   I'll be honest here :-\.The head is held in place with TB3.Then it's wrapped with hemp.Then coated with pine pitch from pine sap found in clay pots from the early 1920's,30's to make it look authentic.I wanted to use it and didn't want to keep putting the head back on.

Justin,When you are making chopping tools,obsidian works great ,probally better.It's sharp, and resharpens easy. Just make the cutting edge thicker.

I have used obsidian for cutting and scraping cordage. But I always figured it was to brittle for chopping. With all the obsidian we have around here, I have never seen a NA point made from it.  All kinds of other rock, but no obsidian.  ??? Justin

                        Saw an obsidian knife years ago in a colorado museum near Steamboat Springs that was said to be Yampah ( hope I got the spelling correct)and was said to  have been made before the Spanish bought horses to plains and ancient Utes were hunter gatherers.................................bob
