Title: New stuff.
Post by: Parnell on April 28, 2010, 10:32:08 pm

I'm having a lot more fun flintknapping lately and really starting to get a feel for it.  I finally found myself a toaster oven and have heat treated some of my rock.  Wow, I can't believe how much more controlled the percussion feels.  I can actually plan my flakes.  So much more fun...

Here are some points I have done over the past week.

The hafted arrowhead came from a simple touched up flake that came off beautifully.

More to come.

Good work Parnell!  I never tought to use a toaster oven very ingenius.  It takes lots of practice and knicks and cuts all part of the fun.  Keep on it and keep up the good work!
