Warhead from Iraq.
« on: November 19, 2011, 08:18:00 PM »
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.

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!

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.
