Point of The Month - Sticky
Outbackbob48:
Gundoc, the preform that you broke looks thin in the middle an thick on the ends >:( Thin the ends first an the middle last ;D Don't ask how i know this, I have lots of take down points :o Bob
bowtarist:
John you make that look so easy. :D I'd like to see the tool placed on the point of impact though.
Here is my first point that is close to a clovis, not really. It is missing the shoulders, and really doesnt have much of a flute, but there are the rare unfluted clovis. ;) I got some time thisafternoon to knapp, this is some opalized coral that I got from Mullett @ the classic. Ground w/ a petrified coral abrader. I went kinda crazy on the base, but kept chasing towards a big stack that got left from my first flute that hinged. Anywho, here it is, 235 grains, I see the flaws, but don't want to break the coral, I happy now, and I hope to try again later. Oh yea, it's sharp as all get out. Thanks for lookin, dpgratz
mullet:
I've got two strikes so far. And like Bone I need another preform.
jamie:
i tried to flute that nasty piece of dolomite i posted but couldnt get a second nipple set up without loosing a lot of material so i said screw it. i'll make another
Tower:
