Just for fun
« on: June 29, 2023, 02:45:58 PM »
A friend of mine found this years ago so I asked if I could make a arrow for him to hang on the wall.
Chickasaw I guess


Lowes dowel and Titbond 3.
Sinew and turkey feathers--Back Sinew, not so easy to process. :banghead:
I wanted it to look more primitive so I wasn't so picky on the sinew wrap.
It's about 26" long, the point half is 3/8" OD and tapers down to 5/16", then the Nock area is 3/8"again (1/2" long)


I would rather fail at something above my means, than to succeed at something  beneath my means

Nice work, Mark.
 BTW, the point looks more like a knife blade with one side offset more than the other but I won't tell if you don't.  :bigsmyl:

None of the lines on this point are straight.
I was thinking the man that made it was just learning how to make them.
If you look at a side angle the cutting edge is not very straight either.

It makes sense what your a saying. :thumbsup:
