This arrow is based on an original housed in the Hearst Museum at U.C. Berkeley Hearst Museum that was collected circa 1901 I believe in the Yurok village of Weitchpec at the junction of the Klamath and Trinity rivers. The main shaft is syringa and the foreshaft is made of service berry. The Gunther Barbed point is made out of a grayish green piece of un heat treated Franciscan chert I picked up in the gravels of the Mad River in NW California. It is glued in place with pitch and lashed the way the old ones were with sinew painted red. Red and blue pigment copy the crest of the old original arrow which also had green Franciscan chert points hafted in a similar fashion. Goose feather fletchings are lashed with sinew which has been painted and glued down with hide glue. This is a time consuming arrow to make. |
