Met a new primitive friend from off of paleoplanet...lives close to home so went down and did some knapping..I ended up making this nice clovis for him. Thanks Glenn aka Hada for a nice day.

Time, dedication, cuts, tons of broken rock, a wife, and perhaps a few girlfriends are some of what it takes in becoming a skilled flint knapper!!!

Thanks Bonepile!  I always critique myself a little too hard I see flaws later on or see symetry might be a little off and become disappointed.. but am happy that it didnt break it has a lot of crystals in that piece.

Russ :o :D :D ;)

WOW! That is nice, Russ. Good to see you chipping again.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?
