Title: Small TX Tab.
Post by: Tower on June 21, 2011, 07:29:39 pm

Here's a little piece of Pedernales flint from the Llano river. It was about 1/2 in. thick at the start. Knapped pretty good at the start so I finished it raw. It only weighs 62 grains. Gonna have to put a little shot in the shaft to get it to 125.

Man, that first pic almost looks like tile but i know it ain't. I've worked some small TX stuff that looked just like that. Another perfect point for sure..

That's really nice.  I will be so glad when I can take a small thick point and thin it.  You guys are awesome.
