Post by: madcrow on October 08, 2008, 02:35:44 pm

Here are a couple that I was messing with at the rendezvous.  I almost lost them a couple times when the chips started flying.

Cool looking points. Is that some of Joe's Coastal Plains chert?

Thank ya.  It sure is some from Joe.  I picked up a chunk that had been heat treated and these came from a couple of the flakes that I knocked off.  I think I am going to play with some rhyolite tonight.

Eddie, made a couple hunting points from it but I haven't worked most of it up yet. Just spalled it out and stuck it in a bucket. If I could win the lottery and get rid of this employment thing, I might get some knapping done. If you're nice to me you might get to see some points in person when I get a chance to beat on it.  ;D
