Point of The Month - Sticky
bubby:
i've got 3 notchers and i think the horseshoe nail notcher works best on glass and obsidion, atleast for me, Bub
skyarrow:
I think your rite bub I made copper one also and hopefully tomarrow a abo one :) il find something that works well with glass and obsidian
gstoneberg:
Holy cow, these are hard... I stopped before I was finished to take a picture of this one, figuring I'd break it which I did shortly after the picture was taken. O well, I'm too frustrated to try much more so this is my attempt.
And here are the failures, most of which will morph now into other styles. The little stemmed point was a huge spall, and is the broken one I posted the other day. It was so large I made 2 attempts at Gunthers, breaking off an ear on both and still had enough flint left for a hunting point. What a waste of flint!
I can't imagine how fragile the glass and obsidian must be when I'm knocking the ears off flint with ease.

skyarrow:
Its real fragile george hehe maybe the new notcher will do the trick i reall want a thin small glass one like in the pic on the cover
Stringman:
Well, I'm going from the Pics here and memory and this is what I came up with.
I believe this is one of the last pieces of coral I got from Eddie a few years back. Pretty rock and works well once it's been heated.
