Dogwood shoot foreshaft and nock. Ailbates flint..I did not knap them...but that's on the short list. Very huntworthy stuff. Thanks for all the compliments.

Another Q...

Is the forshaft a tapered foreshaft or barreled? (don't have any pics pre-assembly do you?)

Someone who now lives in Texas gave me three beautiful heads knapped from Palo Duro flint. I hear that he is a good teacher. Maybe you guys could work a trade there.

Mickey, The foreshaft is barreled with the socketed end wrapped in sinew extending about 1/4" outside the cane. I mounted the foreshaft into the split cane socket with pinepitch and then wrapped over the tapered cane and foreshaft with sinew[artificial]. I'm no expert at this but it seemed like it would spread the load out at that point which is where most foreshafted arrows fail. Great lookin' work there gut. That will STONE'EM!!!

Mickey, 'bout an inch and a half. Killy, I've been thinkin' about W.B...just thought I'd give 'em time to get settled in. Thanks and if you want those works of art turned into arrows ya' let me know..it would be a pleasure.

One of them, he made into a necklace. I haven't put the measure on the bases of the others, but I think one of them makes the 7/8" minimum for these Virginia whitetails! There are ash shafts aplenty here, and a shock of river cane that has stood in the corner of the living room for too many years.  :archer:  All I need is to get off my dead...you know.

He oughta be settled in by now. I would poke him or chuck some rocks, see if he stirs.
