Title: My humble submissions
Post by: Stringman on November 15, 2015, 06:34:50 pm: Didn't really have any theme with these, just kinda all over the place. I'm really pleased with the free hand Clovis points.

Post by: Majuba Tom on November 15, 2015, 10:29:11 pm: Wow some nice stuff. What is the stone the free hand Clovis is made from?
Title: Re: My humble submissions
Post by: le0n on November 15, 2015, 11:43:11 pm: excellent materials + top notch knapping.

that shallow depth of field is giving the illusion of a bent blade. is it in fact straight?
Title: Re: My humble submissions
Post by: Stringman on November 16, 2015, 08:10:28 am: Thanks guys.

Leon, if you're talking about the cloudy obsidian blade it is perfectly straight.

Post by: Stringman on November 16, 2015, 08:14:52 am: Tom the first Clovis is made from Burlington chert. It is a little grainy, but works very well. The other Clovis is out of rainbow obsidian. I had set it up to flute on my jig but wasn't happy with the results. So I went for broke and took 2 quick whacks per side and ended up with a better job of it.

I have been waiting for ten min. for your photos to down load? :(
They will eventually I'm sure. I am sure the points are terrific cause of the
other comments, :)
What I like is the walk on the wild side (hand fluting). ??? I have lost a lot of
nice blades in the past doing it. :(I seldom loose them lately and love the
thrill when you unwrap and find that flake you made happen. :) And of course
a still complete biface :)
