More rust removal
« on: October 27, 2011, 01:18:52 am »
Got another pc of west texas stone that wanted to be a point. Managed to save some of the nice pinkish red color also. This point also turned a corner for me an ended up at 6 to 1 thickness ratio. Finally got a thin one for a change. I still left lots of little finger nail hinges an still need to clean things up overall, left my self lots of room for improvment ;D ;D  Thanks for lookin. Bob

Nice point! I like that material, I got a chance to work some of that stuff last weekend. Pretty good rock, I like the color. If that's rust I'm looking forward to you gettin some WD40! ;)

Thanks OBB.  I just got myself a scale after 3 months into knapping, really gave a perpective on size when looking at a point or a piece of rock that I'm atempting to pulverize.   ;D  Sweet point!
