I watched Curtis Smith make several of his really wide, super thin points and blades today.  WOW!!!  I have to learn to knap all over again.

Bill, Paul; is he percussion flaking or indirect flaking?

He does direct percussion Eddie. Mostly with copper boppers he makes. He showed me one of his experimental peices he'd made earlier. Don't know what the W/T ratio was but was 3 1/2 - 4 inches wide and paper thin almost. Purty darn impressive :).
