here are a few stone pointed arrows, natural rivercane, wild turkey feathers, selfnocks and self knapped points. sorry points are kinda dirty from test shooting and then re-sharpening (http://images.imagelinky.com/1315676717.jpg)
My trade points I made for elk and\\or bear if not close enough for stone (http://images.imagelinky.com/1315676915.jpg) (http://images.imagelinky.com/1315677012.jpg)
and my knife i resurrected an Old Timer Blade and hafted it into a Pronghorn Antelope Horn (http://images.imagelinky.com/1315677214.jpg)
and lastly my stone knife. (http://images.imagelinky.com/1315677378.jpg)
That is nice gear! Doing my best to go all primitive this year. I have to produce a couple more points and the season is on.
Very impressed with your choice of materials, and very handy work too.
