Hey Greg....I'll put one up on here in the morning for you.  I sent one in with the story but it seems they elected not to use it.  - Mark

Here's a pic of the arrow w/ broadhed.  I used a zwickey for the "pattern" when I ground the shape of the head, then mounted it like a trade point.  I painted them black, also.   Thanks for the interest guys.

I might add, for those interested in trying this, it was very hard for me to find spoons that were of suitable quality to sharpen to "hair-shaving" standards....so really test out a few before you settle on some.   Fortunatelly, spoons are cheap and easy to find, so you'll have lots to sort through.  

I was trying to remember when I did this, I think it was about 15 years ago!   Man, time sure flies.

I believe it was Solomon who said it in Ecclesiastes
"there's nothing new in the world". That may not be the exact quote but the meaning is there..lol My very 1st attempt at putting something on a stick that I called an arrow was a beaten out teaspoon from my mothers' kitchen. It created a small riff in my family as mom wasn't nearly as pleased as my pop was. He thought it was ingenious, mom told him might of had a different line if thinking had it been made from say... something from his toolbox.
I love the photo.. nice job by the maker of the point and a Perfect job on the doe by "The Maker"
God bless,Mudd

great story I enjoyed the read and the pic is way cool.  If times get really hard I now have a solution for broadheads.
