onandaga and stuff
« on: June 16, 2010, 09:29:14 pm »
russ (ancient archer) stopped by the event this past weekend for a quick sit in the knappin pit. handed me a couple chunks of onan , normanskill, and a piece of shannons kentucky. started all these at the event but didnt have time to finish them till it was all done. wish you had time to sit longer russ. and thanks for the material. onandaga has a couple bumps but im happy with it. the others are texas, normans, fancy jasper and pennsylvania jasper.

 That's gotta be one of the nicest Onadoga points I've ever seen. And I equally like the other ones, too.

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

Jamie I am deeply sorry for the abrupt way I ran out on u over the weekend  I was sitting in the pit yacking away when my kid walked by and said he thinks he left the front door wide open.  Well of course the old lady bit my head off as we have dogs and cats and left the rent$ on the table.  Well long story short we will have to meet up again and I will leave them all home!  Thanks Jamie ur club is a real nice set up and for the people I met were some great people too.  Thanks agin Jamie...oh yeah great job on them points!

Good looking points Jamie! Thin seems to be a priority with you unless you need to unlearn that and flute something ;D. Nice work..

Jamie Ive seen that point many a times not sure what the name is ...hey speaking of fluting I love working the Ny stone been getting a litlle confident and tried my hand at it"fluting"  NO jigs or tricks just old fashioned fluting by hand.  I dont want to tell u how many I broke that were un believable blades to start.  Thanks Jamie TTYL.
