Been practising, slowly getting the hang of it
« on: October 31, 2014, 06:52:22 am »
Today was a nice morning in the land of withebeam and ravens, so I took some pics of my recent knapping for you guys to see. Thanks for the support, inspiration and motivation I got from you so far. Special thanks to Jackcrafty for his videos, they've been of real help!

bases are getting thinner as well. These Points finally can be hafted  ;) All in the range 50 to 60 grains, except for the first one that's 30.

Thanks for looking!

Looking good and flaking well. I really like that orange one, such cool material. It takes time to master the art, so practice is the only to obtain knaplightenment.
