<< < (2/2)

Hillbilly:
The trick to thin bases is to always thin the base before thinning the middle of the point. Otherwise, you meet Mr. Endshock and have an opportunity to make two little bitty points instead of one bigger one.  ;D If you're making the point from a flake, use the thin end of the flake as the base end of the point.

 That tute' about covered it.Make sure the wood slants right into the stone for as smooth a transition as possible(Just like a metal broadhead) A little flute makes this easier and stronger,also,I will sand that transition once I get the head pitched in, with very fine sand paper.This is to get the least amount of drag for optimum penetration.I always use sinew and seal it against moisture when it dries good.  Frank
