Thickness of Bone Points
Hillbilly:
Marius, I don't have any at the moment, I don't think. I've made several in the past, but they have all been sacrificed to the gods of rocks, treetop squirrels, dense briar patches, and foam 3D targets. :)
Pat B:
Sorry Andrea. I'm so used to all these guys I wasn't thinking about a woman. ;) Welcome! Its nice to know there are a few women out there with the same passion as us guys. Pat

Welcome fellow bow Person,I would feel the thickness would depend on the diameter of the shafting material used,or better off make the size of the head according to the shafting material for example a 5/16 shaft and a 1/4 head would be kinda tuff

Andrea: I've been making these stone points and a few arrows. I've discovered (at least with the bows I'm shooting) that I need to make the points a little bit thicker and heavier for the arras to fly truer. Don't know a thing about bone points, but being lighter than stone I would think leaving them a quarter inch thick and grinding a flute for hafting would be a good bet. I may be totally off, but that's the way I'd try it for starters.
Ya know, I remember DBernier mentioning that he inserts different lengths of soldier (spelliing? that stuff used to sweat copper pipe together) into the ends of his cain arrows to get the same grain weight on all of them, hmm :).
