I have been making arrow heads..... and getting back into archery again, this time with the long bow.
I will be going for an informal assessment at the guild of traditional bowyers and fletchers at the end of the month, with the aim to (hopefully) become a master arrow smith next year ....all being well.
They are tricky little buggers to make and I am finally getting there (I think).....Defiantly a back to school kind of thing.....
Here are a few swallow tail arrow heads.
3 finished and 2 in the rough.
4 of them are bloomery material and one is twisted damascus.
cheers.

Sweet work, Owen. I would wear one of those around my neck as a pendant/charm. Price for a mild steel version?............McM

Looking very good Owen
