If you have some way of cutting stone then I had an idea of buying some black glass tiles and cutting out some arrowhead blanks and then just pressure flaking them into shape to resemble obsidian points?

I have made plenty of arrows in my time but only one with a flint head liberated from a local quarry. I will admit the pile of waste to get that one head was embarrassing

Do you plan to go totally primitive with your arrows using sinew/tree resin etc...?

Steve.
