Title: largest and best knapping to date
Post by: n2everythg on September 25, 2008, 01:16:45 pm

Well I've been beating my head against rocks now for prob a year or so. trying to improve and mostly having fun in the process. I'm slow as all get out but can (usually) turn out a point good nuf to strap to an arrowshaft. sometimes anyway. still struggling with it quite a bit tho.

Anyway, turned this out a couple of days ago. think it took me a full day off and on... mostly on I think. but I am pretty proud of it. think I will haft it to a horn and call it a knife. Its a bit thicker than I wanted but guess it will make a sturdy knife blade.

also a pic of a couple arrowheads shafted that I turned out this past weekend for a hunt coming up in SC this upcoming weekend.... hope to stick a deer with 'em. or just about anything but myself I guess I would be happy with.

oh yea... the rock is flint ridge, coral and kentuk hornstone.
later.

Those are good looking arrowheads.That spearpoint would look good sticking out of the side of a hog. (Think they got a few hogs in SC)  Frank
