Then I mix just a dab of 5 min epoxy. I lightly apply to areas of shaft that will contact arrowhead. I could use all pine pitch but this avoids troubles I’ve had with setting in vehicles in the sun.

I do spin test again and then let epoxy set up.

Then I warm up my pitch glue and also my point. I hold the point a bit high over the heat gun. I don’t want either the obsidian or epoxy to get to hot. I do want it pretty warm though. I apply my pitch glue to the warm point. Then I spin it a bit high over heat gun again to get in all the nocks and crannies filled and smooth everything out.

Then I sinew wrap point. I start by getting a good tight wrap or two on shaft and then work my way up the stem towards the tip. When I get it tip of stem I start wrapping back towards shaft. Trying to keep the sinew wide, thin and even.

I also added a drop of TB2.


Now it’s time to let this dry a bit. Gotta go to church tonight. Hopefully I can get back at this tomorrow.

Thanks Don. I’m glad you found it. Might not have seen it if I hadn’t accidentally posted it in the campfire section. I tell you what. When I couldn’t find it in the arrow section I was really hoping I didn’t guff up and somehow delete it. Was kinda glad to find it in campfire section.

Thanks Pat for your never ending dedication to this site and fixing my guff up.
