Trying to find time
« on: May 07, 2012, 01:37:26 am »
Been busy at work & its just gettin started. Broke a lot points this week so remember slow & steady fellas. Don't rush it. These are the only ones I've finished. The larger one is out of raw local flint. I picked up about 700 lbs of it at a local back fill site. I didn't even put a dent in it. Need to pick up more but stitches in my leg is slowing me down. Some are about 50 lbs in weight. Hope y'all enjoy. Tower

Very nice ! Looks like a good rock to work. Great looking points as usual. That last one looks like a real pig sticker  '  Frank

Beauties Don, both of them.  Glad you have your pickup full of rock again.  I've been doing a lot of thinning with percussion...and a lot of breaking with percussion.   Also cutting myself a lot more these days it seems.  Painful to bust up all that good stuff.  Thanks again for your help.

Don and his brother are good folks and Don is an artist when it comes to knapping.  Wife and I saw his work first hand this past winter.  Took us to his source spot for some material and then on to  his favorite lunch spot.

Neuse, I was kinda showing off while cutting a B-day cake & put the butcher knike 2.5 inches in my leg. Everyone there told me I failed my Ninja test.

Good looking point there.  Ask your brother about him messing with a knife and it going in his boot at work one day..
