Muggy knappin
« on: June 10, 2010, 08:09:08 pm »
It's been.............well June in Fla so knapp in the early or the late of the day,these are recent points

The 4 white points and the little white hernando ( raw) are products of the river trip with Mullet and Jeff the colorfull coral Hernando is some of Jeff's nice stuff.Hey Eddie remember that long flake of Texas stuff you found in Rick's yard,What do you think of it know?

This a coral blade that I heated ,spalled ,heated,thinned,heated and finished  I think who knows maybe I'll work the base later on

It's not the straightest or the thinnest but it'll do

Hopefully the polyps will show up in this photo as well as they look in my hand.Some people don't like this white stuff but it works good and folks have been using it for centuries so it can't be all that bad

 Holy Crap! You've been busy. Those polyps are sweet. What's going on this weekend or the 4th?

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Stunning!

The school year finishes for me tomorrow.  If you fellas are huntin' for anything from rock to game to teaching, and you need someone with a strong back, heck, I'm your student!

 Roger, can't do it this weekend. I can maybe hit it the 4th or the weekend before. Cade and I are going on a hog hunt next weekend in GA.

Good looking points, Roger. I really like that little red Hernando. That white coral with the polyps is killer.
