I plan on hafting this little guy onto my first arrow. It's some local stone that I heat treated. I have the shaft ready, turkey feathers and finally a half way decent point. I'll post it up next week sometime. The glass one i made from a Herrudara bottle but don't tell my wife
.
Thanks for looking

Thanks Bowman, the base was a little thick so I couldn't notch it like these pros do but I'm happy with it. It's the first one that I didn't blow one of the ears off.

I still have a hard time focusing on thinning the ends first. I know I'm supposed to but my skills limit my decisions.

If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Thanks for the compliments......
That rock was pretty grainy but I cooked it twice for 24 hours and made it a lot more workable.
