This ones going on a River cane shaft
« on: February 17, 2022, 07:16:28 pm »
I started  out to make a arrow head my previous point, but I just couldn’t make myself give up that much of the point I already had.

This spall was just what I needed. I like this shape point. I’m hoping to harvest something with it someday.

Obsidian just a touch of red and a touch of clear.

Thanks Piddler. Flint knapping is what got me started in my primitive adventure. Between making bows, arrows and flint knapping.  I find flint knapping by far the most challenging and humbling.

Real nice BJ. Flake scars always show up well on your pics! Nice clean glue up also. Broke an obsidian piece in half the other day with a pressure flaker right when it was almost finished :-K

Thanks Mike. I had one more small ridge on the base. It was already pretty thin. It was all I could do to stop from trying to get it. I left it there. It really didn’t make any trouble, but part of me still wants to try hits it.

Thank You White Falcon

I do think this is a very nice point for hunting. It is certainly sharp. I was doing a little sanding to smooth out the river cane shaft. I got a little careless and accidentally cut my hand when I brushed the point with it. Pretty good bleeder from that one. No pictures though.
