<< < (7/8) > >>

david w.:
i have an idea i have been wanting to try.  Im sure some else has done it.

Take a very straight antler tine and cut off the pointed end then superglue it on the shaft and bind with sinew

napper:
just seen this thread if you are using bam boo you can use duplex nails. What you do is grind the first head to a point and then drill the right size hole in the bam boo to get the pith out leave the nail as long as you want the longer it is the haver the point. you also can braze  brass on and grind to a point for a heaver point. I have only used this on bam boo as it  has a hollow center.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Tom

Hi, Those horn points are great!!!!!!!!

welch2:
Thanks Cromm. I only made the middle one , I used the other two as a reference to start making my own horn points. I did a tutorial on these points if you want to read it.
