Title: Need to make some abo tools
Post by: jonathan creason on October 27, 2010, 10:24:10 am
I need some antler and bone for abo knapping tools.  I know I could just collect them myself, but that seems to be easier said than done right now.  I've got a good bit of bandsaw blade that has been annealed, some 160 gr. glue on field points, and 1/4" and 1/2" glass and a few other odds and ends to offer.

nothing to trade but a great suggestion for ya. find all your local deer processors call them and ask for any unwanted antlers  they have. also taxidermist are a good source.  and use the deer processor to collect sinew. thew have to cut the silver tendon off the back strap and throw them away. just ask to save you bunch and go pick them up.  get a leg or rib bone and hang in a tree to season.   if you got a butcher get some beef bones and do the same.  a couple of hammerstones and your set.  a landscape supplier will work if you dont have good hammerstones.

Sorry, Eddie, I don't have any 160 gr. broadheads, just field points.

If anybody has a old, worn-down moose billet nub I'd be interested in trading for it, too.  I want to try something different, but don't want to buy a billet to hack up just to try it.

I think I have one I will let you try. It's either moose or elk
