First one with moose billet
« on: February 08, 2013, 05:54:01 pm »
This was my frist real try with a moose billet to make a point. I've use a large ones to spall with. White tail pressure flaker. Started the notches with Antler but had to switch to copper.. I guess I'll call it the Storm point of 2013.

Thanks. I got almost all step Fractures when driveing long flakes. I need better support and more speed I think to get them to Feather out. I was happy just not to break it.

Russ you nailed it. And I need all the help I can get lol! Hey Ken and I are supposed to take a hike at Letchworth and do some back woods knapping can't wait so he can set me strait on some Of his techniques. Also I got into that big piece of keokuk from Craig. Hammer stone really had me pissed was getting a lot of crushed platforms until I got mad and really smacked it and walla clean flakes.
