Finally knapping
« on: January 04, 2023, 08:00:25 pm »
I've been busy lately and haven't knapped, here is my latest. Made this for my buddy Dave since I'm leaving soon. It's pedernals style point made from raw harvester chert. It was a gnarly spall so it was challenging and I'm glad I was able to get a point out of it.

Looks good Allyn.

Is that for my buddy Dave to?

Leaving?

Hopefully you stick around here yet.

Glad you got to meet Dave. He’s a good guy.

Hope you end up by some really nice coral or chert there. I’m sure your wife will want you to keep collecting rock.

Nice looking point from some knarly looking rock. To bad I'm not in Florida anymore, would have been nice to meet you and put you on the path of some rock. But Parnel and Bonepile know where some is at.
