Title: 8 in a row
Post by: warhawk on October 24, 2010, 10:13:31 pm

I was thinking about nugget working on flakes and i started finding flakes to arrowheads from i made 8 in a row. There are 2 coral the pendant and the orange one. There are 3 obsidian , i novaculite and the last one was from a flake of crystal quartz that i found. i like to work with quartz and rhyolite. Enjoy.

I've got some examples of quartz arrowheads and their amazing because of the difficulty to work with them. I'm getting better in my ratio with the arrowheads i'm making. Ive been working on preforms and blades. i have provided a picture it came out a little fuzzy but you get the idea.
