Title: Busted
Post by: Bone pile on May 11, 2010, 10:05:04 am

Went up to see Claude VO on Sat to watch somebody that always shows new methods in knapping.Anyhow he gave me a nice chunk of Pasco Co. white coral and in about 5 min I made 2 peices out of it.So here's 2 smaller points.

Wish I could have one bigger one but that's the way the rock crumbles

Nice looking points. For 2 smaller looking points, they are pretty large.  ;)

 Those look real nice, Roger. Hey I'm going to make a Coral run in the Alifia in the next few weeks. The river should be low.

 I'll give you a call, Jeff. I drove over the bridge at Alderman Ford today and it was about ankle deep. I have to drag out the kayak.

 I think he means five minutes to break it into two pieces. I can beat that record.

I didn't make the points in 5 min. ,I broke the rock in half in 5min.The points took half hour for the small one and an hour for the larger one.Hummmmm maybe if I'd use a jackhammer 8)
