Title: Need Help - Ebony Footed Shafts and Obsidian heads
Post by: Onestringer on September 16, 2010, 10:39:00 AM
I need some help locating some stuff.  I need to make up a dozen arrows and I need to know where to purchase the stuff.

1. A dozen ebony footed shafts
2. Obsidian knapped broadheads
3. Someone who can mount the heads on the arrows.

Can someone point me in the right direction.  I have some time, I don't need the finished product until sometime in Feb 2011.

Thanks,

Scott

How about cane arrows with ebony foreshafts ? If that might work get in touch with me.

Snakewood is definitely the go-to guy for cane and ebony.    :readit:  

I might be able to help with the points.  One question, though -- why obsidian?  I think there are better choices for functional stone points.

Slap, you don't have to make me anything special just for promising to take you to Kansas!

Hey Stick you know I have promised a lot more than arrow for an invite to Kansas

Cane could be an option but I have never seen a cane arrow.

Obsidian because they are black and look cool.

The arrows are for an auction to benefit terminally ill kids they aren't really functional but I would like them two be if someone wanted to kill something with one.
