prehistoric arrow making tool kit.
swamp monkey:
Seldom do you see the items needed to make an arrow all gathered together in one spot. Here is prehistoric arrow making tool kit. Clockwise from the TDC (top dead center) are arrow heads, fore-shafts (if needed with cane or phragmites), shaft grinders made of sandstone, pine pitch on a stick, arrow straightener made of antler, flint knife on antler handle, flint hand held scraper, assorted bits of sinew from a whitetail deer. I left shafts out to make the shot closer for the small stuff.

I like it. :)
A while ago I posted my own stone age kit. Missing is the sinew, glue, paint, and feathers but you can see them in my thread.

Prtty cool. Did you make the sandstone shaft straightners. I always thought it would work better to grind shafts on a large sandstone block or boulder. Kenneth

Kenneth, I did make the shaft grinder. it is made from a course sandstone. I was able to score a line around it (as if marking the lines for a hamburger bun to open) and split it into two equal pieces. then I scored the arrow channel. All scoring was done with a nail. I finished sizing it with anther hunk of sandstone to round out the channel. It was pretty simple and I could see using different girt sandstone to get varying sanding options.
Jack Crafty. Wow, nice post. I like the way you organize your information. It makes replication easy. Thanks for sharing.
