Title: Kinda hard to add a title that ain't already been said this week!
Post by: FlintWalker on May 30, 2011, 08:47:27 pm

 So I'm not even gonna try :D
 Back still hurts and wrist is sore now so I'm done...until tomorrow.
 First is another big Pine tree.
 Then a Scottsbluff, followed by a little coral piney

Holy crap! It's amazing what some of you guys can do with rocks!  I can't imagine the time you put in to be able to do that.  From the looks of it, some of the world's best knappers reside right here on this forum.

Well I'm flattered (picture me blushing) ;D
 I'm not gifted though...I just have good vision and don't care if it takes me 4 hours to make a 3" long point.

Shannon those are well wow! Can you try to explain how you are doing the edge on the christmas tree.  I see that pattern when I am working but I have a delta on the edge how do you do it with out the delta.  Also is that burlington on the first stone?

If I space my flakes pretty close I don't have a delta to deal with. If they're farther apart and leave a delta between them, I just carefully flake them off while trying to keep the point of the serration in line with the ridge.  That rock is Buffalo River Chert from SW Tennessee.
 Tim, I pushed myself on that Scotty. Not with the flake pattern but with the thinning. It's like a cracker!

Ok so I keep them close now I see flake scares on both side.  How ?

Awesome points!

If we had a level or grade such as "Master Knapper" you would be at the top.
