Title: What to do?
Post by: Tower on February 02, 2012, 11:31:31 pm: Ok friends, I have this blank & due to an inclusion near the base I can't corner notch it. What are ya'lls opinion on finnishing it? Scottsbluff, Plainview,Cahokia,Pedernales, or what? I haven't squared the edges yet. Any help out there?

Post by: bowtarist on February 03, 2012, 01:59:54 am: I didn't say you were out of practice, just not posting so many points lately. Pretty sure the ones I mentioned are mid-west points, not fully smart on the subject though. Just enought to make myself look like a dummy. ;D How a bout a dagger! dpgratz

Post by: Stringman on February 03, 2012, 11:41:18 am: I'm gonna say - Scottsbluff. Although it seems a touch narrow maybe. Love your work!

Post by: Will H on February 03, 2012, 01:44:22 pm: I'd think it would make a nice cornernotch knife...or a Hardin maybe.

Post by: Tower on February 03, 2012, 01:56:20 pm: Well I gave it a valiant effort. Tried for a Scottsbluff, but not very happy w/the outcome. I still have a little rust & dust to knock off myself. Think I'll grab another stone & try another point.

Post by: seider on February 04, 2012, 11:12:04 pm: very nice tower. the dagger and blade are not to bad also. I have not had it in me lately to hit any rock everytime i sit down to hit some i loose my motivation. Those do look good though.

Post by: mullet on February 04, 2012, 11:16:34 pm: Man, I really like it. They are simple looking but not, that's why I like the Scottsbluff and Plainviews, heck I like the Paleo look when it comes to larger points.
