Title: Getting back in the saddle
Post by: Tower on April 18, 2013, 10:32:38 am

I haven't had muck time to Knap. When I do in having problems keeping the size under 200 kb. Here is one of yesterday's points. It's local New Braunfels stone. Hopefully the pics won't be distorted.

My, what long fingers you have!!  :o ;D

Don, I have been using the photobucket on my IPhone and it is pretty simple after you get the hang of it. Shoot me a pm if you want some help with it. BTW, love everything about that point! Beautiful stone and flake scars!

If perfection is distorted, then it is really distorted. I wish I could distort one like that.

Great looking blade.

  I cooked up some of that rock yesterday that we got when you and your brother took me and my wife  to New Braunfels two years ago.   Now waiting for a little warmer weather and less rain to work on it.
