Wonder how much i could knock out the arrowheads i knap if i walked round offering them ? Saw a bloke last summer knocking out "druidic" staffs, sold all he had in one afternoon !


I'd quite like to learn how to do that. How long does it take you to make a decent arrowhead? Are we talking barbed/tanged type?

You could definitely flog them, no doubt about it!



They can take 30-60 minutes depending on detail etc. Mine aren't the best by any means, though i have made a few decent examples over the last few years including barbed and tanged, i've given most of them away though. My problem is continuity of practice as i've no local source of flint.


Surprised by that, thought it would take lot longer. Then again, I suppose you get quicker as you get better at it?

You'll have to fill a bag with flint on your next Avebury visit!
