This is a quest to make all the slides featured in the Whittlin Jim's "Slide of the Month" in Boy's Life magazine. (Hopefully without doing lasting damage to my hands or fingers.) Blogging my progress along the way. I completed my task in March of 2017 and now post my own designs along with some other "Slide of the Month" contributors.

Bones and Horns (Bone Arrowhead)
March 2017
Time to make: 1 hours
Finishing: 1 hour
So a good friend gave me some bones one day all cut up in neckerchief sized pieces and this is a slide made from one of the bones. I really have to ask him what animal it came from but I think it may have been a beef cow. I used a band saw to get the basic shape and then sanded it with a dremel tool to refine the arrowhead. A bit of wax to shine it up and its ready for wearing
