6 for trade
« on: August 10, 2012, 10:06:00 pm »
I was able to interest a guy in a trade for some of my points and he wanted them all obsidian. It has been awhile since I hit any of that shiny stuff and I had to relearn on the first few. All told I only broke 5 or 6 before finishing the set. They are all between 145 and 150 grn.

Funny thing is my buddy came over this morning and he was looking at the blade. I said "now careful this is sharp," thinkin I would forewarn him a little. He picked it up and promptly cut his thumb a nice little slice and said "ouch!!" I just started laughin. He shoulda known better but that obsidian is just scary sharp!

Those are nice. I'd try hard to find a trade for 6 of those.
I found many years ago that it is much easier and more rewarding working with those that don't know anything than those that know it all.

Some pretty ammo there!
When you come upon a track or trail you do not know, follow it to the point of knowing.

I saw that trade link, and when they replyed you were making them I thought, Well, they got the right guy on it.  Obviously I was right, and that was some fast knappin, it's only been a week.  That dudes buddy will be thrilled.  Heck of a job stringman, dpg

I think he has a cookie cutter shaped like an arrowhead.  Those are some very fine points. Tower
