Nice work Bob.  Those are some pretty blades.  Sorry about the broken one, it looks like it was coming out really well.

     Man nice work Bob.  Yeah, unfortunately stuff happens.  Stuff happens to me all the time. ;D  I just now finally made a point bigger than an inch or so.  It is about three inches, by three inches.  It is an atlatl point.  Kinda pyramid with barbs, and a straight tang.  I can't take full credit, because it is a piece of glass plate, that Eddie had preformed, and partially flaked.  I just worked it down to it's present size.  Every other time I tried to make a nice point like yours, Stuff, would happen, and I would take the remainder, and make an arrow head out of it.  This is the first time I have been able to make anything larger than a medium arrow head.  I'm  really good at bird points though! ;D  I would love to be able to make a knife blade, or long atlatl point like yours,  But I need to get back over to Claude's with Eddie, and try to figure out how to percussion flake, and punch flake.  I have a nice piece of Fla. Coral, but I need to get Eddie to cut it into preforms.  It is slabbed already.  I had some that I uh.....had stuff happen to them.   :(  I like the obsidian in your palm.  Nice points.

Nice chippin'! I've made a pile of those take-down points, too. That Flint River is great rock, but those chalk pockets'll get you sometimes.

     Yeah, Bob Trapper Nelson's place does have a lot of history.  There are a lot of wild orchids, along the river if you know where to look, and can keep em covered on your way out..... ;)  Actually it is in Hobe Sound, just on the outskirts of Jupiter, on the west side of the intracoastal.  Yeah, Lake Worth used to be a nice sleepy little town, where you didn't have to lock your doors.  Not so now.  Not a good place to be now.  Lot of immigrants, legal, and illegal, and lots of crime there now. :(  When I was a kid, my buddy and I both lived just west of Military trail, just north of Lantana Rd. and we would hitch hike to West palm on a Sat. morning, and just walk around town, and go in the airconditioned stores, and look at all the stuff, we didn't have money to buy.  We would go to one store that I can't remember at this moment, and they had a little snack bar there, we would get a cherry coke, the kind with the syrup, and then the coke poured in over the ice, and syrup, and a hot dog. Then we would hitch hike back home.  Nope can't even think of doing that now.  I am so thankful I grew up in that era. :) 8)
Again, nice chipping there. ;)
