I like seeing how a point comes together. Great point as always.

Nice ones, Paul. you ain't that rusty. I'll be ready to beat on some when I get home from this boring ass place. Having to stay in this secure compound is like a work release program. :'(

Sweet work Cowboy!

Dangit I need to give this knapping a try and soon!  My two boys are chomping at the bit to give it a go and I am as well...just need to find a source of suitable local rock that will give us a decent shot at some marginal success.

Great looking points~

Check your local source for lanscape rock.  Sometimes they have stuff that will work and if you tell the owner what you're looking for, I'm sure he will let you buy a few buckets for cheap.  Agate cobbles, sea glass, white chert, and basalt are usually available.  Some of it may require heat.

Thanks bud, having a "hit list" of a few decent choices like you gave me should really help out.  I'll dig up my local yellow pages and see who I can find thats close enough for a drive by visit next time I'm out.  Very cool!

Sometimes those landscape places will order in obsidian chunks to sell for deccorative purposes. Last load I got was around 35 cents a pound for snowflake. Good luck.
