Post by: NFFK on February 17, 2013, 02:50:48 am: the carving with the Native Americans I traded work for. We use dental drills, templates, leather, heat. The other one Grim Reaper is ol Mr Fehr's handy work!
Hobbit= I enjoy your videos

I scored while asking permission to turkey hunt this week for the upcoming archery spring season, and got about 18# of Burlington off his farm in a 100 yd stretch.
I will post a picture or two for a better ID from some of the chert experts
It chips really good raw....stand by....

beautiful flake patterns, outstanding work

thanks slabs make it easier to achieve this look as we all know

today I am planning on doing bifaces hope to get a few knocked out.
After lots of slab work with flaker (like yest) I like to take a break and do some spalls!

Thanks to all on the comments thus far

Post by: Youngboyer2(billyf) on February 23, 2013, 09:05:07 pm: I saw that first point and thought that tower changed his name, you and him make some of the thinnest & prettiest points I've ever seen, not only will you fit in here but you will be a great mentor to others on the site. Again great work!
Title: Re: New to site here is some of my chippin!
Post by: NFFK on February 27, 2013, 06:01:24 pm: from that chert I found at my friends farm (posted in this thread)
I took a biface and cooked it
then this was what was finished
(http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f297/leftsum4you/IMG_0038_zps6f912ff6.jpg)
it got peppery, but no real change on knapp ease...

I had 1 full rock in there to and it got really pink on the one exposed flake I took off .
It will be interesting to see how it turns out
