Post by: Outbackbob48 on August 28, 2013, 06:43:38 pm

Does any one try an get that old look instead of the perfect thin beautiful scarring look. I had this pc of raw flint river and it just looked old to me so I left it kinda rough to get that ancient look.  Thanks for lookin.

That's what I originally started out to do. You know how it evolves from there :)

Way back when all my points looked like that and they worked well!  Now if I have a spall that I think would become an artifact looking piece that's what happens.  Even have one shelf in my case just for them or they just lay around the house!  They are kept separate from my found points!  I can tell you its not always easy to make one like the one you made!  Joe
