Little John:
After reading Billys article in the new P.A. and learning to do a much better job at hand fletching I am on a mission to make a truly primitive arrow. Looks now like the toughest part is cutting the noclk and notching for the stone point.   Now with sinue bow strings somewhat mastered I will be on another mission to make the stone age bow. Will back to cutting the nock.    Kenneth

Hillbilly:
If you knock off a good sharp flake of flint and pressure-flake some fine serrations along the edge, it works good for cutting in nocks and hafting grooves. You can also notch the shaft on two sides, and split/break out the hafting nock.

Little John:
Yep I am going to have to go out and make some tools and get it done. Thanks Steve and have a nice weekend.     Kenneth

Pat B:
I was gonna suggest what Steve did but he beat me to it. ;D

Little John:
Yep I have about got a stone point ready to fit and the nock should be easier. All in all not so tough after all. Just takes a little time. What I need to find is some thin sandstone spalls but might have to wait for the six inches of snow we got Friday night to melt. Can't wait to get her done.    Kenneth
