Title: you guessed it....another Gunther :)
Post by: billy on June 14, 2010, 12:35:46 am

 Well, since I seem to be on  a Gunther kick (and blacktail helped by posting those pics of all those cool authentic Gunthers).  So I got inspired AGAIN and made ANOTHER Gunther.  This one is a bit bigger than the other ones I posted pics of before.  It's made out of a waste flake of Keokuk chert and is probably one of the best I've made so far.  I think I'm finally getting the hang of these Gunther points.  They are time consuming to make because you must go very slowly and carefully when chipping along the barbs, but I think they are soooooo cool looking when they are finished.  So here's my latest creation.  Hope ya like....

Billy:  You would fit right in to the Oregon lakes culture!  How about a Rogue River?  Pokie
