     Nice Points Patrick....I wish I was talented in this Category too....All I do is make Rock Chips....and cut Hands and Fingers!!

Thanks Destructo.  Notice how there is very little notching?  That's because I usually end up with notched rock chips. ;D  If I can get the arrowhead thin enough (not very often), I can notch it.

Notched or not, they look fine to me.

Fantastic points quys.Maybe someday

Post by: Wolf Watcher on January 29, 2009, 01:24:42 pm

These points were given to me by J. B. Sollberger many years ago.  He passed away from emphysema and silicosis.  To my knowledge, he was the first flint knapper to teach at universities in both the US and Europe.  Watcher

The other picture(1005 with the black and orange) is of a couple small knives and points I found in my display case!  The longer one is made from moss agate I found on the ranch I used to live on!  Watcher

Holy Crap! If i tried to make a knife like that it would be in enough pieces to make a few dozen arrowheads ;D ;) thanks for sharing Hawk a/ho

Post by: Hillbilly on January 29, 2009, 10:19:56 pm

Wolfwatcher, those are some really nice points, great work. And those Solberger points are awesome, definitely a piece of history there. Didn't he invent or re-invent the fluting jig as we know it?

Title: Re: Lets see some points.
Post by: Wolf Watcher on January 30, 2009, 12:08:57 am

Hillbilly:  Solly, as he was called, did make a fluting jig and I have one somewhere packed away, but have never used it.  We became long distance friends in the late 50s and early 60s.  I sent him elk and deer horns, some obsidian and he sent me a collection of his work and some Texas flint.  He also was one of the first to heat treat some of that tough Texas flint.  He was a scholar about his work and I have several pages of his notes. He was an inspiration for me.  Watcher

Post by: leapingbare on January 30, 2009, 12:34:00 am

Solberger, that guys is a legend.. I'd feel very honerd to own one of his points.. Thats something special you have there.

Looks a bit smallish for a Glass Buttes point. Ask him to post one of the bigger ones!  ;D  I bet you think I'm kidding, too!!!
