well i went downstairs to my little hole of a workshop today and made a few new ones for 2010
the first one was the larger of the three,thats the pretty girl
it is from a slab of obsidion with a cool blue sheen,very nice need to get more of this stuff
then i tried a to make some more from other material and wasnt having any luck so i grabbed some waste flakes from a box of material i got a while back from jesse
these two were actually attempts from a month or so back that didnt work out to well.today was better day for them too
they have some hinges etc,so they are her ugly sisters,dont know what the material is but i liked both of them.i didnt take pics of their real ugly sides
heres a pic or two

man those are nice good way to start the new year ;D

Those are the prettiest ugly sisters I have ever seen. ;)

That obsidian is pretty ain't it. I find myself going back to the scrap pile and digging out pieces I threw in there months ago. I've made several small 2-3" bifaces from stuff I threw away back in the summer. Back then, I just didn't know how to deal with them. From now on I'll never throw away any rock that might have a point hiding in it.

boy she looks sharp and long and thin.. my kind of pretty girl.. LOL great job hawk
-
nice work tim. that stemmed point is one of my favorite hunting styles.

Wow, Tim, I would go out with either one of them, even around my Friends, and not feel the least bit ashamed! ;D

thanks for the real kind words everyone
but the sisters are truly ugly,ya just aint seeing their ugly sides(didnt take pics of that,might break the camera) lol
actually the more i look at them,the better looking they get
they both used to be much larger,but had hinges all over
once i knocked them off they lost a little of their uglyness

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder Tim :)
They look just fine to me well done eh :)
-
I doubt that a Deer, would have a chance to examine them, and complain about being killed with an ugly arrow head. ;D
It's function that counts. Beauty is nice, but function is what is important. ;)
