This beautiful arrow is a spot-on copy of one of a set of Sioux (Lakota) arrows that were collected off the northern Plains in the late 1800’s and are now in the collections of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C. This arrow copies the originals in every respect.
The shaft is made of dogwood, as was the original. It has 3 shaft grooves that begin at the forward fletch wrap and stop just short of the point. It’s fletched with a mix of turkey wing and one turkey tail feather (Plains warriors often mixed different feather types on a single arrow). The feathers are secured on each end with sinew and the front sinew wrap is an open coil, which was very common trait on Sioux arrows I’ve examined. The front web of the feathers are left long, creating pretty “tails” that were present on the original arrows, and the feathers are glued to the shaft with hide glue (just as they were on the artifacts I saw). The metal point is made from a circular saw blade and it matches the points on the original arrows. The point is wrapped on with a sinew and then sealed with hide glue. The paint design copies the one on the arrows and the nock is slightly flared, which gave the Plains warrior a better grip when the arrow was shot using the Pinch-grip. This arrow is shipped in a sturdy PVC pipe to ensure safe delivery to your door. Click photos for larger images.
This arrow is a faithful copy of the original and is based on years of research in museums across the country. It’s a stout, heavy missile that would have been shot from a short but powerful sinew backed bow. The stout metal point and heavy shaft would carry tremendous momentum at close range and would have undoubtedly inflicted a serious wound on an enemy or brought down a buffalo with one shot.
Arrow Specs: Replica Sioux Arrow (circa 1870’s), dogwood shoot, turkey wing and tail feather fletch, sinew wrappings, metal trade point made from circular saw blade. 26 1/16 inches long. Shipping is included with the price.

This is a spot-on copy of a set of 4 matching Sioux/Lakota arrows from the Northern Great Plains. The artifacts are in the Smithsonian’s collection and were originally acquired in the 1870’s. This arrow copies every aspect of the originals and is a museum-quality replica.
The shaft is dogwood, with 3 straight shaft grooves that go from the forward fletch wrap to the point. The metal arrowhead is made from a circular saw blade that’s been blackened to mimic the original trade points, then the edges were ground to expose the silver metal underneath. The tip is rounded, which some trade points had. This was to cause the point to glance off heavy bone and continue forward instead of piercing the bone and stopping the arrow’s forward momentum. The point is held in place with a strong wrapping of sinew.
The fletch is 3 turkey wing feathers secured with sinew and glued with hide glue. The feathers have been dyed yellow, just like the feathers on the original arrow. And finally the red and blue paint design copies the design on the original arrow.

This cute little pot is made of hand dug and local clay from north Georgia. It’s tempered with quartz sand and formed by hand. Then it’s dried and fired in a campfire just like the old prehistoric pottery. Firing in a campfire creates fire clouds, which are swirls and different spots of color due to the different environments in the fire when it’s fired. This pot is about the size of a medium sized grapefruit. It has a rounded shape with a flared rim. This pot has some small, thin cracks in the rim but they’re very minor. You can’t cook in it due to the cracks, but it would be a nice display piece. It can hold potpourri, you could put some sand in the bottom and then put a candle in it, or you could use it to hold any dry materials in a small to moderate quantity. 4 inches wide and 3 inches tall. Free shipping within the U.S.

This simple but effective stone skinning knife has a short, rounded blade of dacite that’s ergonomically designed to capitalize on the natural pivot of your wrist to maximize the knife’s effectiveness. The handle is made from a piece of crepe myrtle, a dense and durable white wood.
When using this knife, your initial incisions will need to be made with a sharp steel knife (these would have been made with razor sharp stone flakes in prehistory). Once those incisions are made, that’s where this hafted stone knife comes in. The sharp, serrated edge is ideal for separating the connective tissue between the skin and carcass of the animal. But it’s not so sharp that it will slice the skin, making it the fastest and most efficient way to skin a medium or large sized animal while maintaining the integrity of the the hide. The rounded blade shape works perfectly with the natural pivot of your wrist to maximize the cutting ability of the knife. Free shipping.

River cane may have just met its match! Tonkin cane is a type of bamboo that just might give river cane a run for its money. There are several distinct advantages that tonkin cane has over river cane. First, tonkin cane is denser and noticeably harder than river cane. Second, tonkin cane has much thicker walls than river cane, making it much stiffer than rivercane of equal diameter. This means tonkin cane arrows can be considerably smaller in diameter without sacrificing spine or flight quality. And because it’s denser, tonkin cane carries lethal momentum. Smaller diameter shafts encounter less resistance to penetration. That, combined with tonkin’s density, means tonkin cane arrows pack a deadly one-two punch. Don’t let a slim tonkin arrow fool you…this stuff is very durable and can withstand a tremendous amount of abuse without breaking. The front ends can be tapered to fit a field point, drilled out to accommodate hardwood foreshafts, or hunting points can simply be mounted right into the front of the cane. Unlike river cane, tonkin cane can have its diameter reduced to get it to a particular spine, and the nodes can be flattened to match the outside diameter of the rest of the shaft. These are raw shafts that will need heating and straightening. Supplies of this material are limited, so get it before it’s gone.
