I straightened a rivercane shaft in about 15 minutes. Fastest and easiest for me ever. I then mounted this obsidian head to it. Fletch it tomorrow and send it for test flight. I touched this point up while in Iraq so I thought it might have some good mojo. If it flies good it'll be in my quiver soon.

That's a beautiful head and emanates Mojo for sure. Good luck Jim, I hope your season is the best ever and you get the chance to use that bad boy!

Excellent piece of workmanship. Just curious. What does it weigh grain wise?

I didnt weigh it but I'd guess 140. I need to sharpen it a little more after I shoot it some.

Very well crafted and I thought Night wing had an interesting question concerning weight.Looks lethal!

How do you sharpen a head like that?

JamesV,

I read one time you re-nap the edge using a pressure flaker. Just the edge and it is basically a new edge

To sharpen I just run another series of small flakes down each eadge exposing better than razor sharp micro cutting surfaces. Thanks guys.

Best of luck to you with that head.  You gonna write a message on it like a real warhead?  Good luck.
