looks like a nice set

My dad has all that gear. He went around to different gatherings and such in the last 2 years to learn some of the trade. He has made some nice spear points on his own. I was impressed with it. It's not easy. Cool hobby.

Hoot are you posting these pictures from your computer? If so you'll need to down load them either on OS.com's gallery or in a photobucket account. Once you do that then right click and select properties. Highlight the address and paste in the box that comes up when you select IMG.

[Flaming Arrow]

hoot gibson,

Your knifes are truely a work of art.

[hoot gibson]

thanks flame , do i know you?

[Spring fever]

Hoot, Very nice, looks like a dovetail spear. Do you think the native Americans used the dovetails for spears or knives or both?? No way of proving I guess, just theory.

Sf--:)

[Spring fever]

I must be seeing things. I would swear the first pic I looked at is different than the one I'm seeing now. This one looks like more like a knife. Really nice.

Sf-:confused:

[hoot gibson]

they are both knifes , the pink one is some kind of strawberry from outwest , its flint , the brown one is obsidian from oragon . hoot

[Elitest]

Hoot where do you get your flint? I'm going to make some new heads for this year.

[hoot gibson]

i dig my flint , then cook it , if needed . but you can go to flint ridge to the big flint festival and buy it if you need to , you can also buy it anytime from gary hardy , he lives first place east of the park . a verry good man to do buisness with , i think he is in the phone book . hoot

[coonskinner]

just had some from flint ridge at big auction or is it this weekend...also a nice 6" pc. flint...:mischeif:

[Thunderflight]

Anyone ever recycle and arrow head they found in a field?

[hoot gibson]

thunderflux , yes i sharpened an old point several years ago , and killed a nice doe with it , but i felt really funky aboput it , so i wont do it again , coonie , the problem with buying other peoples flint is , if you dig a hundred pounds you will be lucky if there is 10 lbs , of good stuff . :bouncy: hoot

[hoot gibson]

here is an ax i made , obsidian ,

[coonskinner]

seen 6 obsidian screw in converta points on ebay...:mischeif:

[Mark Sprague]

I was under the impression that Ohio law requires steel broad heads on arrows used for deer, but a quick perusal of the regs doesn't address the material. Did it used to? All it says is that the arrow head must be 3/4" inch wide or more and have two cutting edges, minimum. So that permits bone points, too. Bone is alot easier to find and work than flint; the Plains peoples used it fairly often.
Has anyone made or tried antler tip points? They show up alot in Woodland archeological sites here in the East. The consensus was that they were probably war points. Their bullet shape excludes 'em from legal deer hunting today.

[coonskinner]

i think they are legal...:mischeif:

[Zipperin']

They better be legal or else I'm in trouble........:whistle:

Hoot, them are some fine lookin' tools. Where did ya find a piece of volcano that big?

[Zipperin']

Hoot, I got a piece of catlinite I'm gonna make an effigy pipe for my old man out of. If you ever run into any Ohio pipestone, let me know. I don't think I could find it down in Portsmouth.......
