I decided I wanted to make one’a these the other day spur of the moment. Between watching all those TUKTU videos and I just started reading The Swordfish Hunters, I’m on a salt water thing kinda kick.Anyways, I used a coyote leg bone for the toggle, the point I had knapped out awhile ago outta my local argillite and set it with pitch resin, 
and the cordage is dogbane I braided onto it, I’m calling it my “kinda” primitive harpoon head cause I cheated like a jerk and cut the bone and drilled the holes with a dremel,lol.

Beautiful work, Jay. Your expert craftmanship is only exceed by your imagination to conceive the projects you undertake. Good show!Comment

Very cool! I wouldn't mind doing the same thing one day by taking a point that I found(because I don't know how to knap anything) and getting a handle made for it to show an example of how they used to be.Comment

Tuktu would be proud of you Jay.

I like it!
I have played with pitch resin a bit and was never really happy with the results until one day I dusted the hafted area with more ground charcoal dust. It seemed to not only make it less tacky but also seemed to help the resin really lock up and hold the head.Comment
