Seeing these points y'all are finding reminds me of looking for arrow heads as a young boy. I don't have a place to look anymore but have started teaching myself to whack these things out. This is one I made a few days ago. My intentions are to mount it on one of my arrows and take a deer with it this fall. The more I work at making points, the more respect I have for those that did it generations ago when their lives depended on it. I have also decided that based on my experience the half arrowheads you find were broken during the process of making the point. Usually, just when you think you can thin it a little more....there you have a half point! ![[Linked Image]](http://pic100.picturetrail.com/VOL782/4063224/24337555/407317229.jpg)

Not a one. I don't think I have enough Indian blood in me to sell them if there were tourists around. I have been giving them away about as fast as I can make them. Most of them up till now weren't worth a second look and most people wouldn't even stoop to pick one up if they knew what it was.

Thanks guys! I haven't had time to work on any points for a while. My brother and I are trying to get some knives ready for the Knifemaker's Guild show later this month. Deer season opens next weekend and I might try to whack out a few from glass this weekend. I am planning on hunting with the point I showed in the picture above. Just got to find a way to mount it on one of my carbon arrows.  Not really. I hope to show that arrowhead with some use on it in a week or so.

This piece belongs to a friend of mine. Family story is "Grandpa" found it in his wanderings when he was 17 yrs old. Been dead 40, in his mid 80's when he passed. ![[Linked Image]](http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r130/jrelkkiller/IMG_0386_zpsc3415f60.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r130/jrelkkiller/IMG_0388_zps1f318439.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r130/jrelkkiller/IMG_0389_zpsafcc0801.jpg)

Wife has one that is almost identical, except it does not have the bead work. Shaft is a bone of some kind, wrapped in rawhide. Not sure how sturdy it would be but definitely would not want to be on the receiving end of it.
Some mornings, it just does not feel worth it to chew through the straps!~
