Title: Not as planned but as expected
Post by: Ghost Knapper on June 22, 2015, 07:18:10 pm

My first ever attempt at an "Andice/Calf Creek" Fortunately I didnt have all that much time invested, a well placed spall off a much larger piece did alot of the work.

Learned a valuable lesson today, never ever talk on a cell phone while notching, not even on speaker phone!

Nice notching.
Did you lose it at the break and continue
 or lose it at the finish?
Still a great point. To bad you didn't suggest it for POM.

Good idea for POM.  I can make me a good broken Calf Creek.  ;D

It broke about halfway in, I decided to keep going and either make it look like a "old point" or put it back together. I am thinking about restoring it. The broken piece doesn't meet up perfectly so I am going to have to fill it in. And then paint it? Not quite sure how I am going to do that yet. Maybe Andice/Calf Creek can be next months POM.

It's not that you have one short ear, you got two long ones that need shortened....q

Here is what the missing ear looks like. Would bondo work to put it back together and then scrap sand paint etc?

Humm To bad you don't have the missing piece.
A good epoxy perhaps with some ground Edwards
dust and a filler piece where it's missing.
Quite a juggling act though.
Actually I like it the way it is.
