Some time back Bondo posted a picture of some heads that he had knapped. Well, it has been a desire for a long time to take an animal with a stone point. The ultimate would be to do it with a head that I knapped, but after trying some, it is looking like it will take years to get one head, let alone enough to hunt with.
So realizing this, I sent a PM to Bondo, nothing to loose. Through the course of our conversations, it was decided that we would could do some tradin'!!! I won't go into the details as to what Bondo got, but this what arrived in the mail yesterday!!!

The points are matched to + or - 5 grains, and are absolutely awesome!!!! The bamboo arrows were a bonus and are spined close to the weight of the self bow that I will be shooting this fall, for whitetails!!!
Besides all this, a great friendship was formed!
Thanks David!!! And thanks to those who pour their time into making this the greatest of all bowhunting sites!!!
Incredible well matched and consistence weight stones.This will make you more confident.
:archer:
Those look like killers!!
Beautiful work!
Thanks for sharing.
God bless,Mudd
Awesome
Very Nice, that's talent!
Awesome Tim! We knap alike! These should provide big inspiration!
While I don't presently have a way to post pics of what I received in trade, lets just say that I feel like I came out WAY AHEAD on this deal. Tim does excellent work with extreme quality craftsmanship. I hope do do business with him again in the near future.
Thanks Tim.
Wow, those are unbelievable. I cant imagine what you got back Bondo that outdid these heads but I know Tim does some amazing stuff.
This kind of gets my juices flowing to go a little more primitive. Awesome.
WOW, Those are incredible very very nice. :clapper:
Thanks again, David!!!!
Randy, am hoping to have an elk tag this fall, maybe we can find a day or two to go after them?
Thats real cool.
Very nice.
There's not many things cooler than a knapped stone head, except maybe a set of matching knapped stone heads. Beautiful work.
Those are awesome! Good luck with them Tim.
Nice work! I love it when no money changes hands, each provides a service that they do well.
And, each thinks they came out on top!
That's a great trade alright.
He does great work, good luck with them...don't forget to share your success when it happens
Those are some awesome looking stone heads! Wow!
Such talent of your new friend. Congrats and good luck!

Very cool Tim, what are the lengths and weights of those heads? Been wanting to take a deer with a primitive arrow as well. Maybe this fall will be the year.
The heads are right around 125 grains, plus or minus 5 grains.
I am hoping that this year, I will get to see blood on a stone other than one just laying on the ground!
Regardless, of how it comes out, there will be stories!!!
VERY NICE,,,,
Those are nice Tim! Will look real good in a shade of red :thumbsup:
Nice, way to take care of eachother and great looking points!
They look great. Please let us know when you score.
