Atlatl fore shaft obsidian point.
« on: April 21, 2021, 10:50:54 pm »
This one turned out really nice. It’s scary sharp.

Knapped from obsidian spall my cousin sent me. Halved to a Red Osier fore shaft with pine pitch and white tail sinew. Driftwood display.

I thought about making it a dagger. It would have made a nice one. I decided on halved it it to a removable fore shaft for a Atlatl instead.

I certainly wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end of the dart. Definitely one of my nicer points

Thanks Russell

Thanks everyone.

Willie I will try to get some pictures of dart when I get a chance.

I actually had this one in mind for another PA member I traded a Atlatl a few years ago. He broke the obsidian point and I’m thinking this one should work. Don’t see him on here much anymore but hopefully meet up with him at Marshall.

Rob I really can’t hit shit with a Atlatl. I enjoy casting the dart as far as I can. But I can’t seem to hit a target. One of the reasons I was thinking of giving this one to a better hunter than myself.

Maybe someday I will figure it out, but right now my only chance of hitting a deer with it would be if a closely packed herd stood about 30 yards from me.

Thanks Steve. It’s always hard taking good pictures of this stuff. They just never seem to look as good as the real thing.
