He asked for it.
« on: October 08, 2012, 10:09:51 pm »
My brother brought me a so called preform he had been working on. The stone had its fair share of inclusions near the tip. He's pretty new to knapping, so y'all can imagine how it looked. "Make Me a point I can kill a pig with" is what he told me. The point is made from some tough raw flint found at work.  After an hour of work this is what I ended up with. Its not the prettiest Iv made, but it is sharp. He's working on a fore shaft made from mesquite. I hope he finds a hog to put it in.  Tower


Here it it hafted to a foreshaft. The point is a little off, but it has since been fixed.

Wow Don, that point end is pure concrete. That's amazing. I hope he takes pictures when he finds that pig.
