Title: My First Functional Arrowhead!

I finally made an arrowhead that will stay on my stick and I just thought I would share. I had a can of corned beef hash this morning and thought I'd keep the top and  make an arrowhead out of it. Its actually attached with gorilla glue and dental floss ( :laugh:  not gonna use it as bowstring anymore). Yea. I'm gonna make about ten more while I'm at it.

Have you thought about taking bone and filing it to a point and beveling the edges. I think the single strand floss or artificial sinew singled wrapping would take out the bulk and be more stream line transition down the shaft.

That would be awesome! But I just don't have sinew (not yet at least)  and I haven't gone to the local market yet to check if they have cow leg bone (which I doubt).  :-\ But who knows? Maybe they'll surprise me and actually have something useful.
