Israel ? Hey jump on a C-130 and come shoot some long guns with me. Oh and I got you a shemagh too, I'll give you that when I come over to your house. We can combine drinking beer and knapping again so you can watch me mulch some of your primo stuff ;D

Post by: mullet on January 06, 2014, 03:14:37 pm: When you get over to the house you will have to shoot the 4 new bows I have. One from Bear, two from James Parker and one I made. And I'll hand you my Primo stuff, don't see much mulching from you , lately. And, there is black flint everywhere here near the Dead Sea. I've found small pieces so far and it's all been worked.

Three black are dacite, the two brown are some kind of Texas rock i would guess, they came from cobbles.

These take me a couple hours each minimum. I would say 2 hrs average. I know I am probably the slowest knapper known to mankind but I have found I break them or end up with thicker points if I rush it. So I prepare every platform both in the percussion and the pressure stage. I abrade in both stages too. Once the platform is correct I push the flake. What takes up the time is that you can get a good thin preform with percussion but to make narrower points you have to bring it in with pressure. To keep the point narrow in this stage I can't afford the edge to crumble so I prepare tiny little platforms just like in the percussion stage.
