Just Learning
« on: February 24, 2012, 11:34:49 am »
I've been knapping for a couple of months now....not getting after it hard, just knap when time allows and I'm in the mood.  I've gotten better, but still a long ways to go.  I thought I'd share some pics of my progress.  I've had a couple of points that were turning out great, but I busted the ears off trying to corner notch.  Man that's frustrating.   



Thanks for looking

Your knapping is pretty good for a newbie! Those are a fine points, better than my first ones. Knap-On!

Thanks everyone.  The pic makes them look better than what they are.  I'm really trying to get the hang of thinning them down, and being precise with my flaking and notching.  My goal is to make points I can hunt with.  Thanks again

Off to a real good start. My reasons for knapping started just the same, but ive gotten a little out of control and spend lots of time finding rock to knap and even more time knapping >:D

Keep at it!
