Been knapping pretty heavily the last couple of days...The 3 points on the left are novculite AKA"White butter". The other points and blades are made from gray and white porcelain/glass slab tile...Awesome stuff

Good looking points Bill! Where do you get the porcelain tile? Its not something you can pick up at the big box store is it?
Really like the side notched second from the left bottom pic. Sweet.

Nice points.

Papoints..That tile i got was from a hotel that was built in the late 1800"s...They don;t make tile like that no more..This stuff even makes me look like a good knapper.... ;) ;)

Thanks Rob and Bob
Bob there will be some of this tile coming your way soon :D :D

Quite a collection there. Nice work. You didn't happen get a truckload of that tile while there did ya?

The pile of tile i found was about 10 X10 and 3 feet deep...I didnt get it all but I doubt anyone else will get it...

That's a shame. Anyway I came across a few of those old porcelain reflectors they tar to the asphalt. Purtiest Snow White points I ever made. Interesting to work with.
