Title: First Batch of Points
Post by: budmenchaca on May 31, 2012, 12:22:58 pm

Hi guys,

After a year's worth of broken bifaces, sliced fingertips and tons of rock...I think I may be getting a handle on flintknapping!

Here's some of my recent pieces. I used flint from central Texas, Rainbow Obsidian, porcelain and glass.


As always I welcome the advice of the Teachers and I hope to further my knowledge of this ancient skill.

Thanks for dropping by and please leave a comment.
