Title: Bone and glass
Post by: madcrow on August 27, 2008, 12:15:02 am

I just finished this one a little while ago.  The rawhide is not even dried yet.  This is my first "decent" point from glass.  I have a few others that are going on squirrel arrows.  For some reason, I did better with clear glass than colored glass.  I used some glass from an old juice jug I found in the woods, a legbone, sinew, and rawhide from a deer I shot last year, which was about twenty feet from the jug.  Now to make it a little more odd, the jug was laying under the tree that the pine sap came from for the pitch mix.

  Real nice, I don't care what anybody thinks, glass makes some nice points. The ones you made for squirrels will kill deer, too.

Most of the others were too small to be legal for deer, but I plan on having some in my quiver anyway.  Squirrels, coons, rabbits, pesky neighbors. ;D ;D ;D

Dana, if I could have picked up a case of beer and got my tires rotated, it could have been a paleo wallyworld. ;D
