Title: a knife & a few points...
Post by: J. DEMPLER on June 27, 2009, 08:58:58 pm
Here is a couple pictures of my accomplishments at knapping this week. Some of them suck, but I'm still learing.  :)
The heads are made of obsidian, Texas chert, carter cave, and glass. I don't know what the knife is made of. Any ideas?

Thanks Jaeger. The blue glass is from the bottom of a jar. Keep your eyes open at yard sales, you can find them for a quarter .

Thanks everybody. It seems for the most part I can get my flakes to run past center, I just need to work at getting them thinner.  :)
I am not in the same caliber as you guys, I enjoy every pictures you all post. It helps me and probably a lot of other people out. Joe
