Last minute gift
« on: February 19, 2016, 07:58:28 pm »
My wife dropped the ball and didn't get anything for my brother inlaw for his birthday so I bashed this out. Broke 6-7 nice long performs in the process. One had to be 8" long! Was rushing trying to get it done in 4 hours. Shed whitetail tine, my home made pitch glue, and artifial sinew.





Made it sharp like an arrowhead on the edge with some serrations. Took 3 passes to do rather then my normal 2.

Here's my bucket of arrow worthy flakes from spalling my big stones!

Yeah I got a couple cuts and one was a piece that went into the tip of my finger like a needle, had blood everywhere.

There's a streak of pitch down the backside of the wrapping, wasn't sure how much to do.
