A set of 4 points for a friend and the straightened river cane they will be mounted on.

Good looking points and shafts, Rick. That is the style of blade I like.

Thanks Eddie, they fit perfectly in the river cane shaft. He wanted a variety of material for the points so I made one obsidian, two coral and one flint river. My friend bought the four arrows and three knives from me. He is putting them in a shadow box for himself except for one of the knives. His son in law, who has terminal cancer, collected arrowheads for years. He is going to give him one of my knives to add to his collection before he passes. His collection is going to be passed along as a family heirloom.

These are two of the knives my friend will get Saturday. Flint River and one Buffalo River from some rock I bought
from Dennis. Both handles are Southern live oak tree root from blown down trees. One has some charring on one side of it
probably from a controlled burn along the coast. RickB
