Deer Leg Bone Arrowhead - Using Stone Tools
JackCrafty:
Thanks David ;D
So, not satisfied with the arrowhead yet, I continue by adding notches and some serrations.
So, I ended up with a Caracara point. ;D
A little long, but I think bone points were generally longer anyway.
I used a piece of chert to deepen the notches and serrations before hafting.
Well, the battery died and I've got to recharge. I'll post pics of the hafted point tomorrow.
This took me about an hour....much less time than it took me to make one of these with cow bone (3 hrs.....a couple years back). Deer leg bone is actually a pleasure to work with, and my stones are none the worse for wear. If I wasn't distracted by the need to take pictures, I think I could have whipped this point in under 40 minutes.
Me happy ;D

TRACY:
Thanks for sharing. It seems that the bone point would be very capable of taking a deer. What's your take on this and are there any minimums like poundage , and under 20 yrds? Thanks again Jack Crafty.
