Tom, I've been watching several of your videos tonight and enjoyed them all. Your teaching style is easy to understand and, just as important, easy to listen to!
Good work, and thanks for posting these. Very helpful.

wow, even without making it terribly sharp that would be a devastating weapon on an animal, just from bludgeoning imo.

do you have to use a foreshaft?

With this material you do. While these are technically foreshafts, I'm basically just using them as points for the darts.

Question about 1:45 ... Wouldn't it be better to wrap the dart after you drill it? Wouldn't drilling force it to expand and weaken it more?
Or would it be insignificant on the outcome?

Sorry this reply is so late in coming! IT's better to wrap the dart first so that it doesn't split when drilling/reaming out for the foreshaft.

what type of wood is the point?

I think I was using either a birch dowel or oak dowel from Home Depot. Any hardwood will do. I mostly use hardwood branches from the woods. Dry them, straighten them using heat and shape them into a dart point. T
