my favorite point yet!
« on: July 31, 2012, 04:02:48 pm »
I have not had much time or material to knapp this summer, yet I found a rock that I thought had a lot of fractures in it and was able to make this large point. I am going to haft it and give it to one of my friends who lost two sisters these last few months. He has asked for a spear ever since we met. I think this is mozarkite???( ID needed) it had alot of white chalky cortex, slowly changing into this purple blue center. It was rather hard to knap raw and it shelved and stacked a lot, but I was able to knock this out! not perfect but everything came together at the end.

I don't know what the material is but it has a lot of color! Sweet point. I think he's going to love it.

Sweet color, and a nice point to boot ;)
Is this bow making a sickness? or the cure...

You handled it well!! I had a guy drop off a bunch of that stuff for me to play with, but it was all fractured throughout. Had to throw away about 4 buckets of the stuff. Wish mine woulda been as nice as what you got there. Nice points!

Nice looking points, ought to make some good looking spears. Would heat treating help the rock any?
