I have a piece of antler that is shaped like a delicate slot head screw driver. Sharp, fine obsidian doesn't take much force to make the serrations, so the antler works fine. Thanks for the compliments.
-
That is one bada$$ point. Well made & well done!
-
Awesome point, don't think I've seen any like it. Is there a name for this style?
-
Mesquite,
It is my version of a "Gunther Barbed". Most of the originals were from agate and jasper (limited obsidian examples exist in the record). The style in this form is rather localized to specific parts of South West Oregon (Rogue Valley). I grew up at the "Gold Hill" site. Most of the site was destroyed during the flood of '64. Earl Moore's book Silent Arrows describes the flood water destroying the site. By the time I was a kid we mostly only found debitague flakes and some small Cascade Willow Leaf styled points.

fletcha, down here in the lassen complex there were about 5 variations of the gunther, all but one were a high grade obs, with one almost exclusivlly a red material, most likelly a jasper, cool point, Bub
-
Awesome, awesome and awesome. That is one nice looking point. Very fine detail. If you get a chance, could you add a picture of your antler tool. Thanks.

I wonder if that little wing with the black spot will break off when you shoot it. Do you collect them or actually hunt them?
-
I hunt with them, they last about one shot.
