Matched set of 6 Columbia Plateau/Eastgate style points...
« on: August 30, 2014, 05:01:51 pm »
Its been a while since I have been able to sit and do some chipping but man I am glad to be back at it at least for the time being. This summer has been busy as crap I've been re-modeling my wife's new salon downtown Tampa, doing school, traveling, plus work etc. I had this order for a while and was appreciative of the guy being patient with me.

The material is Agate from NM and of course Flint Ridge.

Yall take it easy enjoy.

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

What mould do you use to pour those with...awesome matched points

I'll be leaving on the 11th and staying to the end of archery. Rumor has it that it has been wet this year. Good Luck on your hunt!

Are you going to Colorado? It has been wet there and from my good friend's reportings elk are everywhere he already filled his tag as well.

Seminolewind, I will be going to GMU 35 or 15 in Colorado. Congrats to your buddy on filling his tag. Not easy to do, but it can be done.

those are some sweet looking points you make, do you use slabs cut with a saw or do you start with spalls?

These all start as spalls I havent ever used slabs in my sets...not that i am opposed to slabs I just think that its more of a challenge to do with percussion first. Im kinda weird like that

Those are inspiring, I've been watching for more of your points. Looks like it was worth the wait.
