playing with shapes in obsidian...

bowmo:
just trying some random stuff...not like you really come up with anything knew when the art form is 100's of thousands of years old, but hey i still can make up my own deal. i just end up finding finding a "real" point that looks just like it eventually...

cowboy:
Them's some cool points bowmo! I like that obs too, easy to make - easy to break. Good knappin! I learned awhile back that you can make just about any style/shape ya want and discover that it's already been made.

PeteDavis:
Nice. I have a 50 lb. chunk of glass buttes on the porch...maybe I need to break into it.

PD

bowmo:
thanks.

cowboy: tell me about it. i break just as many as i make. i usually make them too thin no matter what cause the stuff will easily let ya...

FlintWalker:
I love points with recurved edges like that. 
  What amazes me most about prehistoric points is that Cowboy might find a certain point type in Texas, I might find the same type here in Ky, and they'll very often look so close in appearance, you would think the same fella made both of them. ???
