Well I ain’t getting any more bow wood for 2 years so I decided to try something new. Quick question, what thickness do y’all shoot for when making axe heads? I’m guessing around 3/4’s of an inch?

Eric Krewson:
I have some originals (actually I gave them to my son) about 5000 years old, they are closer to 1".

DC:
Did you make them Eric? Just a guess from you "too old" post. ;D ;D ;D

Ryan Jacob:
Ah crud, guess I’m starting over :NN

Eric Krewson:
Interesting story on the artifacts. I was looking a a village/mound site in the 70s (no laws) some one had dug a post hole sized test hole looking for a "arra" heads. They didn't know what they were doing. They had thrown a couple of mud covered rocks out of the hole but it had rained the night before I got there and washed off two beautiful ground and polished celts.
