Watching Woody do his masterful magic turning rock into pointy weapons at the last weeks TX Sweat was an inspiration for all of us. I know several guys have gone home with cuts on their hands and a new desire in their hearts to make their own hunting tools.
As much as I'd like to knap stone points, I have too many hobbies as is :rolleyes: But Woody's enthusiasm is contagious. It made me re-visit forging my steel points again.
Woody, Thanks for both gifts...my knife river flint head and a rough forged damascus head that is in progress, final shape yet to be determined. Yes it will be a left wing single bevel...Doc

AWESOME, Both of em. :readit: :thumbsup:
Woody does some impressive work! Those are 2 great looking heads! ;) Thanks for sharing! :thumbsup:
Doc, I'm honored and humbled. Thanks, friend. Hope you poke big holes in punkin-head bears with both of those. :wavey: :thumbsup:
well done fellars!!! :thumbsup:
Very cool.
Here are a couple of field pic's of the "Woody" points I won at the ST Judes auction last year.
Enjoy, Bert (http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh216/quartermoonlongbows/IMG_0018.jpg) (http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh216/quartermoonlongbows/IMG_0017.jpg)
Very cool Doc! Kind of like Woody's point, but one step up on the evolutionary ladder!
Hard to figure why, but it seems like the farther back we go, the more fun it gets.
Well Whip,
While some cavemen were knocking rocks others were looking at that funny hard iron ore in their fire pits...not too far apart :D Doc
By the way, that's not desert salt at the top...snow :scared: We are due to get dumped on tonight 10-12 inches. Maybe I can still catch a plane out tonight for Texas!!! Doc...missin' the warm weather :(
They are beautiful
Boy that knife river flint sure is pretty rock. Heck of a knapper there! That forged point is rather impressive too doc. I love damascus.
I just started knapping last fall, and it is contagious...one day I will hunt with heads I knapped.
Rather impressive crafting on both of your parts!!
Those are great both of you make works of art.
I should have waited til I finished it cause once the damascus is etched, you will really be able to see the pattern. This was more a Thank You to Woody than looking at my broadhead :notworthy: :notworthy:
Don't recon much more can be added to whats been said bout BOTH yer Talents.
However I can say that I am a Better man because of both your INSPIRATIONS, life views and who ya are THANKS a BUNCH BUDS :clapper: :clapper:
Both are works of art from 2 very talented gentleman... :notworthy: ......Don and Sky
Wow! Two very talented guys :notworthy:
:wavey:
Lookin good Doc, glad to see ya pounding on that stuff and what can anybody say about Woody but incredible, both as a person and a talent!!
Great looking forge there Doc :thumbsup: Please let us see it when completed!
