After the Bald Eagle Point
« on: June 30, 2015, 06:23:33 pm »
First off would like to thank all the people that put on the Bald Eagle knappin, not going to name anyone so as not to forget anyone, The weather was nasty but still had a great time and got a chance to visit with a friend of Erics (rocks), Clint, hope I got that right, anyways I was really impressed with how orginal his points looked and his style of ABO knapping. Got a chance today to try some of his methods, heres what I got from a Texas spall. Thanks Clint.

Nice one Bob. Still have yet to try the punch notching method you showed me but soon enough I will give it a go.

Nice and it does look old, not enough pics though can't you post like twenty pics in a post or maybe it takes a secret technique

Cool point!  But, being a moderator, I gotta say that making a point look old is not a good idea.

very cool looking point, the flat side sort of looks like the silhouette of a boxer bulldog.
