Damascus glue on broadhead?

Terry Green · May 02, 2022, 04:56:22 PM

Abowyer is out if stock and I don't think he's going to be making them anymore...

Anyone know who else might make such a head? I really need just one for a presentation arrow for show and tell along my journeys.

Terry,
No glue on Damascus heads. However, I have numerous Doug Campbell Damascus trade point broadheads, could send you one if it would work.

Thanks Walt, let me see if I can find one. Larry at Abowyer is going to let me know if a straggler shows up. (straggler: southern slang for a lost soul)

I have one on a presentation arrow that was made by Journeyman in 1995. It's stamped P&Y '97. Did Brian Oates own Journeyman back then?

Sorry I missed this Gene, I don't know who owned Journeyman.

a while back Tippet posted a forged broadhead he made with insert post for attachment. I don't recall that it was damascus. You could PM him and get his thoughts.

Terry I may have one and will check tonight, it's an Abowyer head but it may already be glued on to an adapter

Terry let me know if this suits you

Terry Green · May 15, 2022, 01:42:31 PM

Yes Sir!!!

I'll email ya. I'll post pics of this presentation arrow, this is is going to be her Kentucky Derby hat!!!

Glad you found one. I used to make forged broadheads but I think I've given them all away. They take as much time to forge and balance as does a knife...tippit

That is incredible Jeff

Tippit, that arrow point is way cool!

Terry Green · May 17, 2022, 10:06:25 AM

Yeah guys, I've seen Jeff's work in person.....

Jeff.... I want to make this head shin.... give me some info. I can screw it info a carbon if need be to polish her up... they take out the adapter.

Terry,
Buffing it would work but be careful not to catch an edge and have the buffer rip it out of your hands. If buffing leave the adaptor in and grab it with a pair of vise grips keeping your fingers whole. Real light sanding with 600 grit also. If you shine it up too much, it might have to be re-etched. When do you need it finished?

Terry Green · May 17, 2022, 05:20:30 PM

Jeff, I can probably get some jeweler's rouge or past, and buff it by hand or dremel tool with a cloth attachment. I don't have a wheel. Thanks.
