i sure envy your play time , although i guess you paid your dues already. purty wicked head and impressive board splitting action there. try that again with that wimpy recurve i sent you if it splits the board i send you a half dozen more cherry shafts !

Ahh! now that be a kettlingur klora!(inside joke!) when you get the other 5 and the 6 bodkins, i would like to see what kinda damage they would do to a board or any hard target.
if anyone is interested they are made of iron. plain ole iron, just like they were way back when. they have been carburized in the same way(well kinda i used propane for heat source) they were packed in a can of charcoal, leather trimming and bone powder. as the heat started to smoke and smolder those in ingredients, the carbon migrated into the iron, making steel. or as it was called steeled iron.
way to go Rich, I love experiments!
God Bless
