Title: My latest points
Post by: FlintWalker on November 08, 2009, 04:54:18 pm

Not much time fer chippin lately. But I did sit down and make these two the other evening.
  The corner notched one is from half of a big blade I broke.  And the blue one is some translucent sonora flint.  It had some healed up cracks that I thought looked neat.

I'm with you, Tim. Why make just one big point outta a rock when you can make
three little 'uns. ;)

Dang, Shannon! Your work is just beautiful!
