Title: Some new chippin'
Post by: FlintWalker on July 13, 2009, 09:58:26 pm

Made these over the last few days. I'm perticularly proud of the turkey tail. It's almost all percussion except for touching up the edges and it's the thinnest one of the bunch. ;D
  The drill started out MUCH bigger ::)
 Does anyone know what kind of rock the brown one is?  The fella that gave it to me, said it came from Oklahoma ???

You have endeavored Shannon - good stuff, and your gettin em thin! That does resemble perd but if it's out of OK it goes by a different name, I just can't remember what it's called.

man i am so jealous all i have is a box of crud... sometimes ill get something half decent. But i rarely get to make any points because of the lack of material here.

Sorry for the rant..

Those points are amazing!!!!!

You inspire me to at it Shannon.
If I remember right you have only been knapping for two years or so.... and just look at your points now.

I have finally got to the point where something I made could be mistaken for a stone point.

Thanks all :)
 David, my first point was at the 2008 Classic. I made several glass points after that, but didn't get to work any flint till this year at the Classic.  After getting to whoop on some flint, I just can't seem to get the drive to go back to glass. ???
