Title: Tower is great
Post by: iowabow on February 25, 2012, 09:39:43 pm
He sent me some real nice arrowheads and a nice box of flint.  Now all of you have seen me working to thin some of that Texas rock and I really like the stuff and have been working it from the top down.  At the bottom of the box he sent me was a  pile of thinned bifaces! I did not expect that. That really was a heck of a nice thing to do.   Thanks again buddy it was a nice surprise as I was loading the remaining rock into a pail.

Happy you like them.  Some days thinning blanks is all I do. Still, I wish that first box wasen't lost in the mail. Those were some of the best I've made. Guess its a learning curve. Pay for the Insurance.

I am very happy with this box.  I can't imagine what the other box looked like.
