Southern Plains Arrow w/ Stone Tip

(1/4) > >>

JackCrafty:
Made this for a friend but I took pictures before I sent it. The arrow is based on a Comanche arrow that I saw on the AMNH website.

Materials:

Shaft - Chinese Privet  (Looks a lot like Texas Yaupon Holly)
Foreshaft - Osage
Arrowhead - Texas Pedernales Chert
Paint - Fish Glue with Food Coloring
Turkey Wing Fletching (attached with sinew and not glued down in middle)
Pine Pitch Glue (for arrowhead)
Deer Sinew

Sparrow:
Oh that is just a beauty.Like everything about it. Really nice working point there. How long is it ? '  Frank

JackCrafty:
Not sure... I think it's about 28" overall.  The foreshaft is about 5" long.  It is designed for a short-draw, plains bow.  The arrow was not drawn to the arrowhead.  It was drawn to the base of the foreshaft.

Pat B:
Cool and authentic Patrick. I know the Comanche would have used privet if they had it.  ;)

JackCrafty:
Thanks Pat.  I don't feel guilty at all using the privet.  The fact that it's an invasive species is icing on the cake.   :)
