This is such a cool thread. I love some of the stone work shown here. Incredible.

Beautifully knapped heads, there PrimitiveHunter, and they look very well matched. From Texas flint or chert? Have you ever worked with footed shafts?SO
In a former life in Oregon, I turned a lot of lovely obsidian into useless chips and shards, with almost nothing to show for it, so I greatly admire your work. Thank you. Yes they are Texas chert. I live just outside of Georgetown TX so that’s my rock of choice. When you get started knapping, you have to have 2 things…determination and acceptance of failure. In time, the first one will reduce the second one. I’ve been knapping for 25+ years and still blow one up ever so often. Obsidian is nice material. I’m waiting on some Mexican Velvet and Lassen Creek right now.

Here’s a few pics. My quiver, my bow, my arrow rest, my silencers, and my knuckle tension release. Tuning? Which component is adjustable? 😁👴🏻✌🏻 ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2022/10/full-3751-365037-da4e49ce_551e_46b0_bac4_679dbc8784d5.jpeg) [/quote] I kind of thought I’d get an answer on this. There actually is a tuning adjustment shown in this pic.
