Point of The Month - Sticky
mullet:
Sounds good to me.
bowmo:
Been hanging back to avoid all this fishhook craziness. :laugh: Glad it's a new month haha. Here is my very first try at a fishhook and my first try at a Montell.
The hook is from a hornstone flake. The Montell is from a piece of Texas rock that went to from crud to candy with about 550 degrees. Montell's are kinda weird, never rechecked my phone to see pictures of a point so many times while trying to make something before haha. Wish I had my Overstreet guide with me while making it.
1442:
good job on both of those Bowmo
did you do the hook abo?
bowmo:
Thanks 1442.
No, I had mercy on myself for my first attempt. I nibbled it out with a horseshoe nail flaker. It was going to be longer and hook back on itself more but it kept telling me it wanted to be shorter ::)
Had fun messing with a flake that I wouldn't normally bother to chip these days. Really expected to have to try on a lot more than one flake to get one, may be making some more of these... :laugh:

Ok I'm gonna play along for a while. I have only been knapping for about 7 months or so. Dont have much knappable rock right around here. So mostly landscaping stones and glass some local tough rocks. Got graciously gifted some obsidian from someone on here, and found some at a rock shop on the big island. Really liking It! Here's my montell.
