Title: latest knapping
Post by: bushman on July 26, 2011, 02:42:25 am

Here are a few pictures of my latest knapping. It is made from ¼ thick glass, pressure flaked with copper. Its ¾ wide just above the last notch and 2.5 inches long. I like how it turned out, my best point yet.

Thanks Saw Filer and Lee Slikkers. Lee Slikkers, flint knapping is very addicting ones you start you wont want to stop, to learn it at times it can be difficult but with all the help from the great people on here, they make it easy to learn.
