Point of The Month - Sticky
Hillbilly:
Looks good Jessie. Folsoms are easy-just order a box of flutes and then sharpen the edges of them. :)
I've ruined a lot of rock trying to make a Folsom, never got one that I was happy with.
AncientArcher76:
Jesse I know if u make the nipple kinda stout and wider than normal it will generally make a wider flute..I been doing a lot more free hand fluting and some flu ring with pressure... I use a totally different jig than u do..for whatever reason a few of us northern guys use the guillotine jig instead of solberger.. but when I get back home from fort Jackson.. I can try a Folsom... I also want to add for some folks that trying new and sometimes difficult point types will help increase your knapping abilities... give it a go there's no shame in trying !!
