Thanks so much. I really enjoyed putting it together. Drove the better half nuts requesting her opinion on numerous arrangements for the display. I had never hafted points before, and enjoyed the process.

Good job! Did you use dental floss for the binding material?

The process I used for hafting the points was I saddled out a lilac stem (only resource readily available at the time) to make a bed for the projectiles. Then heated up some pine resin and glued the points to the shaft in the saddled out area and wrapped with artificial sinew. Was quite fun. Then decorated the shafts in a native motif patterns with crayon pencils and fine point permanent marker pen and wood stain.

All the points recovered approx 30 miles SSW of the Folsom site in New Mexico. Mostly local material, but other material is represented as well.
