Title: Some "hafters"
Post by: FlintWalker on January 23, 2010, 08:20:40 pm: Here's a set I made today for Jeff Utley. Some of his Tallahatta, some of my Sonora, Cowboys G-town and Jesses Flint river. They all weigh around 150 grains give or take a little.

You ever wonder why ya don't find many artifacts up there???? It's because even the cavemen where smart enough to get the heck out of there! No offense to Jamie ;D

That is impressive. Not only is the knapping beautiful, but to get them all weight matched as well. That is some fine work.

Post by: Hillbilly on January 24, 2010, 10:15:38 am: Fine lookin' ammo, Shannon. That's the same kind of hunting points I usually make. NC law is no barbs, so I make shallow side-notches and fill them with the hafting sinew.

Post by: FlintWalker on January 24, 2010, 11:09:50 am: Same law here in Ky too, Steve. I make 'em that style because I can't think of an easier, more effective design. Eddie don't even notch points, but I like to notch them just deep enough to recess the sinew. Any deeper just weakens the point I think.
