Title: Flint river points.
Post by: cowboy on November 15, 2009, 06:03:17 pm

Made a couple this afternoon.
 Jesse: I would highly reccomend that if you ever go back where you got this stuff that you take a bigger truck ;D. If you ever do - keep me in mind. I like it better than Georgetown ;).
 That third one is an Ishi point that's gonna be a little shorter now ::).

Thanks ya'll :).
 Wish I could go with ya Jesse! If I ever retire and your still able to run about we'll go ;D. That stuff flakes really nice and is waaaay more forgiving than G-town if ya hit it a tad high. I love it!
 Gotcha on that one Shannon - not punching but pressure. I've kinda been toying with the idea of narrow entry notching for awhile now and try to apply some of that now and then. Not that those are narrow but getting better. Man how about the translucency of that stuff? Wow!!
 Eddie:  ;D ;D ;D.

That is some beautiful looking stone that you made even prettier. The notching on that point is really impressive.

Here's mine. Curtis Robbins gave me the rock on 7-18-09. That's how long I took to knap this one out! The concrete is brutal but this is great stuff!

WOW !¡!  And to think I've paid money to get into an art museum.
What's the best starter book on flint sculpturing ?

Title: Re: Flint river points.
Post by: cowboy on November 20, 2009, 06:55:31 am

Eddie - you got armed guards posted around the quarry there? ;D. I'll have to go it covert then, maybe tunnel in :D.
 square shooter: It's called flint knapping but suppose it is a form of sculpting. Anyway a good book to start with would be DC Waldorf's "The art of flintknapping". There are other books and stuff out there but that's the only one I've read. Best bet is to get with somebody that can show you a few things.
