Dang, I'd better get busy. Those are some sweet looking points, guys. I'm pretty partial to Savannah Rivers ,even if Hardaways are my favorites.

Here is my sad attempt at a SR. It is rhyolite. My first with both the stone and style. Looks more like a knife blade to me. If nothing else it is very rustic looking. A little dirt on it and some wethering it might look authentic.

TJ, that one actually looks really authentic. Just need to square that base up a little. That old speckled rhyolite is some tough stuff, you did it justice..

Nice one warhawk.
Thanks Steve. It was thicker than I wanted it and it was stalling out everytime I tried to even the base out.  I also took pictures before I finished cause I wanted proof before I busted it.

Good work guys. I'll go ahead and post my own sorry attempt - and no, I ain't gonna show you the cross section ;D. This is some kind of silicified somethinorother I picked up in the river, closest thing I had to rhyolite or that other stuff but seemed to work (kinda) ::).

I don't know TJ, they both look fairly authentic to me though I've never held one - and yours is thinner. I'll most likely heat this up one day and refine it.

They both look like the real deal to me.  I have a few ancient Savannah River points that are so thick it is hard to imagine that they were used for anything but a thrusting spear.

I got a couple of pieces of rock picked out for my attempt. Time wil tell how i do... Muzzleloader starts this weekend too, so I intend to be busy hunting, dragging, or dressing deer.

Paul, that one looks really good. You got the base perfect, too. That looks like some good rock, there- I bet it would work really good with hardwood billets. Jim, I'm gonna be down there in your neck of the woods next week with the Hawken and flintlock.
