Title: Recent Fun and Points/Hawk
Post by: Sasquatch on April 08, 2015, 11:09:49 am: So WA (Chippingtuf) recently cut some stone for me, that of which I was very thankful. When I went to pick it up one afternoon he surprised me with a small backyard knapp-in. There were four of us all together. the next couple of days I heated some of the stone and made a point from one of the slabs. Thats what the large white one is. I also played around with some other spalls that were laying around the garage. I made the knife from tx stone. The hawk is my first and its from Rtbeer. and peach wood. The small jasper material came from Brazos river gravel. Thanks for looking

Amazing points :) i love the turkey feathers on the tomahawk!

I read this too fast and turned it around for 'hawk feathers on a tom turkey'. We happen to have a member of this forum that had a hawk that lost her mind and attacked a turkey...AND KILLED IT! Pert'near ruined a good hawk, as she was only interested in big game like turkeys and would ignore rabbits!

That being said, guys, that is some mighty fine knapping work!

Maybe you gots some more of those crazy stories about turkeyhawks of something. Thanks for the complements everybody. Now I just got to work on my trade points.
