Title: Wishbone glass point.
Post by: Parnell on May 14, 2014, 01:22:04 pm: I found the bottom of an old Wishbone salad dressing bottle back up in the mangroves a few weeks ago when I was fishing out on my kayak in Lover's Key State Park. The glass is amazingly better quality than the new stuff. I did this one yesterday evening and is my fist actual glass head that I'd put on an arrow and hunt with. It's sharp!

Post by: Dalton Knapper on May 14, 2014, 03:55:28 pm: I think you are right that older glass works better. Maybe they tempered it or annealed it different back then? I especially like the bottoms of the old brown glass Clorox bottles.

Nice point by the way. Find more glass!
