Cool, the lettering is nice and crisp. That price isn't too bad either.

I think I'm going to change my user name to Slothman, this AITH is going slow. Sorry for the delay Charred. This is what I have so far. Arrowhead is forged from a 3' sawmill blade, normalized at least 5 times, heated to non mag and quenched in ATF, tempered 3 times with a spring temper on the tang. Shaft is whittled from osage orange. Turkey wing feathers, and cordage is red cedar root bark. Going to glue it all together with cedar resin. Hoping to get it finished soon, don't like to keep people waiting.

Thats a nice one for sure.
I got my head in from Scott and not only is it sharp but looks great as well. I'm tinkering around with the idea of casting a ferrul to mount it in make a small spear out of it

I'm glad you like it. I learned a few things along the way. If you ever decide to put it to a string, and let it fly let me know how it does.
