Request to help learn
« on: March 06, 2012, 01:43:41 pm »
I am really enjoying seeing all the completed points and blades. I was thinking that it might help me if you guys also posted a 'before' pic as well. That way I can see better how to get something out of a flake or spall.

I hear ya Beavan, I'll try to post one or two from spall to point when I get get my computer fixed. I can't figure out how to post pics from my phone...anyway. I really like clovisknappers videos on you tube. I use alot of the same techniques, I always learn some thing when I watch his vids.
