15 min. Primitive Bone Point MEMBER ... njloco| ... I DREW YOUR NAME !!!!

[getstonedprimitivebowhunt]

First..you need a fresh dried thick cow leg bone with bulbed ends cut off.

       

Now slice off dense slab off leg bone.

       

Now trace out head shape on bone slab !

       

Cut out shape on bandsaw..be carefull to keep it flat

       


Now thin, shape till you get the shape you want.

     

     

To finish ..hand sand...belt sand or file to get sharp edge ! A little wood wax coat  and your ready to put on arrow!!!

   

One more thing ..be careful not to breath bone dust. It effects some people.

Good luck on you bone point!!!

In a few days I'll draw someone name that responds to this topic and send them this point to try..Happy Thanksgiving !! Jeff

Ooooh, if I might add;

If you've never worked with bone before, wear a dustmask & clothes you don't mind burning. The stink when you're cutting or sanding bone would gag a maggot. It permeates your clothes & hair like nothing else on earth!

[Bladepeek]

Hot stag or buffalo comes pretty close for smell!

[PA stickbow boy]

Looks pretty cool.  Can you hunt with a bone head?

that saw and sander doesent look very primative,  

[getstonedprimitivebowhunt]

like robtattoo said ...don't breath dust. doing it outside helps !

[getstonedprimitivebowhunt]

arrow3d ...lol...you can use a sandstone slab if you want to do it primitive all the way..But be sure to wash your loin cloth in the creek when your done.to get stinky dust out !!!hmmmmm. ...lol

[getstonedprimitivebowhunt]

yes in Ohio

[straitera]

There's smell alright! Never work bone in the house except to substantiate Mrs' bitchin_!

Great job on the BH!

[magnus]

I love that. Thanks for the tutorial! I've done some hunting in your neck of the woods.

[Bel007]

[beauleyse]

[Thumper Dunker]

[benmmc]

[KellyG]

Thanks for that. Do you think I use my deer leg bones from the buck I took this year?

[getstonedprimitivebowhunt]

[b44mag]

now thats cool
im new and think i want to try it
just got done making things out of deer horns and the smell is well differant for sure and a dust mask helps for sure

[getstonedprimitivebowhunt]

.... anyone that has any other Idea's on making "bone Points"  please add...I'm learning too ! Also I don't think bone points are for everyone..for hunting! Special care must be taken before you let one fly!

[Jon Stewart]

Good looking point.  Correct on the smell.  I always cut antler outside with a fan blowing the dust away from me with a mask.  Usually that last project of the day so I go from the project to the shower.

Are you going to barb your hunting point or give it the Christmas tree look like flintknapping?
Good stuff Jeff
