Title: Mini Scottsbluff
Post by: FlintWalker on July 07, 2009, 09:52:49 am

 After dropping the Timo inspired one yesterday...and breaking it >:(  I decided to try another one.  This one ain't really big enough for the type, but it was the biggest piece of rock I had.

Shannon there are many different sizes of scottys,Nothing wrong with the size of that one. Very very nice job! I love it.The base looks good also. ;D

Here is another look at that original of mine,showing the flake pattern and thickness. Again, I wish someday to make points this well.

Sorry about the other point breaking.  That thing happens.  The new point looks great though.  One day when I grow up I am going to make one. ;D ;D

Great work, Shannon. That'un's actually about the right size for a type II, most of the originals averaged about 3" or a bit less. They didn't make most of them as big as we try to.  Tim, I could look at that Scotty all day, that's a fine point and an inspiration.

Hey Shannon, that's a perty point and your flaking scars are perfect. I hate when I drop one , it,s bad enough when I break ,em while still working on them but to be really nice an finished an then drop them hurts bad. Gotta quit knapping on the conc. porch.:>{  Later Bob
