Christmas gift-making time
« on: November 15, 2016, 09:10:20 pm »
Christmas season is sneaking up on me!

This one will show up in a grandson's stocking.


Stone point knapped by JonW. So it came from Arkansas.


Shaft is hill cane from PatB and feathers from an Indiana turkey.


Used bit of Rit Dye to add some color to shaft.

Thanks, fellas, for contributing components for memorable gift. Hopefully it'll hang on his wall for a bunch of years.

I hope he looks in his stocking before he puts it on lol. Nice arrow Knoll. How old is your grandson? I bet it won't be long till he wants to take it hunting.

He's 14, bj, and hunts. But uses one of them contraptions with all the wheels! Hung on his wall, it'll be reminder that there is a better way.  ;-)

I bet some day he'll come around Knoll. That wheelie contraption will get boring and he'll want a real hunt. Then he'll take that arrow off the wall a try to make good use of it.
