Trade arrow build along.

(1/8) > >>

bjrogg:
Well I got a chance to work on my trade arrow. It was supposed to go to Allen but he got to busy and wasn’t really feeling like he was up to it. It’s going to Jake now.

It got me thinking I could maybe try to do a quickie build along to help someone else out. I have wanted to but it’s always hard to get pictures and stuff when your hands are full.

Well going to give it a try.


First need to straighten this river cane shaft.

bjrogg:
I do some preliminary straightening and file down the nodes a bit.

Then I wrap sinew around each end to keep shaft from splitting. I wrap notch end about half inch from end and point end about one inch from end.

bjrogg:
I think I’m going to use this stem point I knapped out of obsidian.

I use angle grinder and cutoff wheel to shape my basic notch and fit point end to arrowhead.

Bjrogg

bjrogg:
I give it a good dry fit and spin test.
