Post by: xin on February 25, 2010, 12:35:21 pm: The blue looks like Georgetown, my favorite Tx chert. Very nice points , all of them. I'll bet knapping is a good defense for cabin fever in your cold winters.

Post by: Hardawaypoints on February 25, 2010, 03:51:08 pm: Lookin' good, Dana. I've been too busy & too cold to chip much. I hope I can do that well when I get back to it.

Post by: cowboy on February 25, 2010, 09:49:53 pm: Dana: All those could pass for Georgetown color wise. But if they were tough then prolly not.

Post by: ricktrojanowski on February 25, 2010, 10:07:48 pm: NICE, That one is really thin. You're cranking out some nice blades. Keep it up.
Title: Re: This and That Eh
Post by: Lombard on February 25, 2010, 10:45:29 pm: Sweet, and I'll keep pecking away, in hopes of doing one that nice someday.

Post by: venisonburger on February 27, 2010, 01:40:45 pm: Nice points, where do you find the time to knap, you're always working. I've been playing around with some colored glass that turned up in my dads attic as we are cleaning it out. He doesn't remember where it came from, theres some interesting red stuff with green streaks in it. I'll have to post some pics but that might be awhile since my laptop turned into an expensive paper weight (just up and died). I just picked this one up last night and don't have the pictures transferred on to it yet.
Anyway, nice work Dana

Post by: DanaM on February 28, 2010, 03:20:21 pm: Crazy winter here Mike, the southern UP looks like late March snow melting and bare ground showing, was up thru Munising and Marquette yesterday
and they still have lots and lots of snow, been mostly lake effect this year so not much for us southern Yoopers :)
