Title: primitive needle
Post by: ozy clint on November 10, 2012, 09:53:58 pm

i'm in the process of making a quiver and got to thinking about needles.
then it hit me that i have a few stingray barbs from some that i have shot.
here's the result-

I like it, nice work. The NA's in Florida used stingray barbs for arrow heads.

looks like a nice needle. looks great for sinew stitching.

I don't know if anyone has tried this before but...
what i'm using today to sew up a quiver is a tip of a turkey quill. snip one off about 2 1/2" ,from one that glides through your punched holes.
reem out the inside a little, enough to stuff  the end of your stitching cord into. then slice a thin piece of quill from the same feather and slide it into
the hole with the cord to snug it up.... works like a charm...wish I had thought of this years ago!

That is really cool. Did you have to do much to it to turn it into a needle?

That is really pretty! and I'd bet works quite well.
Nice tip.. excuse the pun, RichardZane, never thought of that but it is tips like this that one might recall when you need one.. thanks for sharing that.
