Afternoon all -
Got cloudy and muggy this afternoon. Supposed to be around 90 at 4000 feet tomorrow! pretty quiet here in Yosemite for pre-Memorial Day!
Was working on this point the yesterday in the museum. Was percussing it and......
managed a decent flute on it free hand!
-
Careful you don't cut your lip on that flute....something tells me it may need to be tuned, it sounds a bit (hehehe) sharp!
-
funny you say that JW, ben plays the hell out of a flute
-
Looks like you play all kinds of flutes! That's a gooderin :).
-
That is cool, and a nice point.
Now, don't think I'm weird and I promise, I haven't smoked anything since the early 70's ::) 8), but look at the top of the flute in the first picture; It looks like a face with a beak nose to me and the second picture has a face below the flute but kind of fuzzy.
The wife says it looks like a buffalo. What do y'all think?

How do you stay so thin eating all them brownies, then?
I went back and did a little looking, I definitely see the beak face in the top photo.

Staying active and still think I'm in the 70's :D :D

Nice job Ben! Flutes aren't easy for me.
Mullet, I see both and the buffalo looks cool. Ben must be a knapping impressionist ;D

I can see both figures, I missed it at first. The beak faced figure is very clear and the buffalo has its head facing to the left. It is ashamed you did not notice it prior to fluting that would have been one awesome point to display with those figures showing in them!!! Unlesssss it was just your reflection? LOL.

Eddie said that hasn't smoked anything since the 70;s, but ....... he does uh..... look for wild mushrooms......
Actually it is indeed a neat face, sort of like an Eagle woman, and the buffalo has a calf at the upper right, and on the last picture, there is an eagle in the upper right corner.

It's called letting the spirits free.
Oh maybe it's just a racoon.
