New Braunfels chert.
« on: September 14, 2012, 11:04:23 am »
This Andice is a little off on the notches. I've been working on smaller points, so I'm kinda rusty on the larger ones. Its made from a Tab I picked up in a local canyon. This stone was very inconsistent in how it knappped. Hope y'all enjoy.  Tower

SWEET! I like those long notches.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Yeah, they just don't make rock like they used to.

That's a really interesting style point.  Must be kinda hair raising to do those super-deep notches while still keeping the tabs on both sides.  Gorgeous!
