Title: Thebes
Post by: Outbackbob48 on May 11, 2013, 06:39:56 pm

The Thebes point is one of my favorites, aw heck there all my favorites, We find very few of them in NW Penna but have seen a few originals from Ohio. Any knowledgeable Thebes knapper I need pointers. I also got a request for a colorful necklace point and found this little flake of flint ridge an got the small corner notch out of it, Thanks for lookin an comments or critique is welcome.  I sure did enjoy a cold rainy afternoon of knapping. Bob

Real nice work Bob!  The flint point should make a nice pendant. Haft it up like a short arrow.  I'm making one for my son right now and giving it to him before we go to Cloverdale in June.  I'll post when done. Nice work again, dpg
