WoW !!!
How well do the arrowheads stand up to hunting? And have you found glass to be easier to make than stone heads???
Thanks for your time.

The glass is about like working obsidian, as far as holding up the glass in my opinion is just as good as obsidian but not as tough as flint or jasper or other tough rocks.. most of the glass I find is in the badlands and has been weathering for years so is pretty hard stuff... hope all is well on your side of the pond brother ..
