a knife & a few points...
« on: June 27, 2009, 08:58:58 pm »
Here is a couple pictures of my accomplishments at knapping this week. Some of them suck, but I'm still learing.  :)
The heads are made of obsidian, Texas chert, carter cave, and glass. I don't know what the knife is made of. Any ideas?

Thanks Jaeger. The blue glass is from the bottom of a jar. Keep your eyes open at yard sales, you can find them for a quarter .

Not sure what material the knife is but that is a lot of fine looking work! Keep it up and keep posting ;).

Don't know what material is in the knife, but sure is beautiful.
