Weekend points
« on: March 21, 2011, 12:39:16 pm »
Here are a couple of points I made this weekend. I learn a lot about the varyous qualities of flint.  The point on the left was made from good smooth flint but the two on the right were a little chalky. This made things difficult as I was setting up the point as a preform.  Thinning blows and pressure flake stepped or cruched and made preperation very difficult.  Good flint equals a good times. The second photo is of points I have made in the past month I think.
