Title: Arrowhead Installation
Post by: Toklat1 on March 19, 2009, 10:43:00 PM
Does anyone out here know of some good illustration on how to put stone points on arrows? I would like to try my hand at this. All input greatly appreciated.

I do very similar to Mickey but I use a single bandsaw cut and open it up to custom fit the stone point with a thin bladed knife, folded sand paper and a small rat tail file.  I use homemade pitch glue(pitch, bees wax, finely ground charcoal) to haft the point and sinew wrap(chewed sinew like Mickey showed, I gave him that idea) to bind it. To seal the sinew I use use homemade pitch varnish(hard pitch disolved in alcohol).
