Title: Knapping help request
Post by: JDinPA on January 03, 2010, 05:08:00 PM
I need a favor from a knapper.
My brother-in-law just passed away a day after Christmas. He had the biggest heart of anyone I ever knew. He was always helping other people even in spite of his handicap. He was paralyzed from the waist down during open heart surgery when he was 8.

In some of the memorial flowers there were some turkey feathers.

I'd like to make a memorial arrow for his father, his step-grandson, and my son from the turkey feathers in the memorial flowers.

Here's what I'm requesting.
Can someone knapp three broadheads for me?
I have some obsidian I can offer up. I'll gladly pay for any material, time, shipping etc.

Does anyone have a source for rivercane arrow shafts?

Thank you for your help.

I have some novaculite if you need it.  It's a pretty good sized piece probably a pound or so.

Thanks - I'm not a knapper.
I'm just looking for a couple heads and a couple shafts.
My Dad is a rock hound so I can get obsidian and flint.
