Title: A simple little point!
Post by: AncientArcher76 on May 22, 2011, 08:00:45 pm

Hi guys I kinda found a turleback piece of pedernales and tried my luck on making something...well it turned out that it had great convexity an a perfect medion ridge for flutes so I said why not... anyway I had to reflute the second side and nearly snapped it but shortened it up quite a bit...still could be used!  Thanx for looking!

Thanx  I am going to get back into thing here soon rather than rushing just for the sake of chipping rocks!  As far as the flute I used leverage and pressure!  LOL


Thanks

Thanx Eddie so far so good I ordered a small box of pedernales off of ebay to get back into swing of things... I might be moving again but I will be seriously concentrating on refining my techniques and start preparing for Letchworth!  Thanx again Brother!
