Arrowhead Knapping

My scoutmaster taught me how to knap arrowheads when I was a wee scout of 13.  I found it incredibly facinating.  He was released before I got to make a bow from the osage orange growing on his property.

If you ever wondered how it was done, check this out.  How to make an arrowhead.

I still have all my arrowhead making stuff and pull it out every once in a while to knap a point.  If you ever want a demonstration, let me know and I will dust off my tackle box full of obsidian and glass.  I am always looking for a good excuse.

Scout On!
