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!!!
