very nice Jamie 8)
yup i think a bunch of us are going to try that now
i know i am,but its gotta wait untill after vacation ;D
-
I think I'd have more luck shooting the point into the rock without breaking it...than I would doing that.
Awesome Jamie.

thanks guys . was hoping i could finish it uptonight but didnt have time. need to dig through my antlers and find something i can make a better punch from anyway. hey shannon , thats crap , if anybody can do this its you. ;D got a question for you too. any chance you can explain how you get such good detail in your photos. i could have the best flaking patterns in the world but i cant get em too show up when i take a pic.

No flash, natural light is best.L et the light hit it on an angle. Rotate the piece till it looks right and take lots of shots. For every one picture you see, I took 10 :-[

Damn, that's a nice shot. Oh, sorry Jamie, that is neat as all get out. I want to get home so I can beat some rock. The wife said there is a box of Tallahatta and a box of Obsidian waiting on me. But I'll only have 4 days before I leave for Brazil when I get there.

Very nice jamie. Very cool. :)

That's looking real good Jamie, them are definantly head scratchers :). It's kinda like sculpting. I broke those other three blanks I had worked up yesterday. Each and every one of em had a hidden flaw running through about mid-ways. That's a hellava flake pattern on that one Shannon - beauty!
-
started making a lot of mistakes as i got closer to finishing, but im calling this one "done".

Well it's a beauty! I WILL do that...someday ;D
-
Awesome stuff! For the time I have been following PA discussion, I have seen several people say something like "Started beating on this rock and found a point in the middle of it." Your creations put a whole new light on it. Makes it so anyone can see that their is a point in them there rocks..... but is doesn't make it any easier to get 'em out. Great work!
-
thank you. shannon looking forward to your creation.
-
Jamie,very nice 8)
what kinda rock?
-
Well, that came out very nice! AND with a bullsey pattern in the rock ta boot ;D.
-
some kinda texas. gonna try another one tomorrow. the actual point section was to thick in the back for me to run decent flakes so its basically just shaped like a point. that bullseye is cool but it was concrette on the other side so i ended up with a stack and couldnt thin it anymore. i did get rid of most of the stach though. thank you.

I keep pecking away, endeavoring to make em that nice.
