Point of The Month - Sticky
Stringman:
I believe the bevel refers to a single bevel edge on both sides. This is typically done on opposite sides. It can be a little tricky to identify except when looking straight on as though it were shot at you. From this view it appears to have a mild "S" shape.

Cool i always figured points that had a single bevel in one direction was from resharpening iv seen artifacts that had a cool propeller twist from resharpening
leapingbare:
Some bolens had a fancy expanded E-notch.
Bevel is opposite on each side.
Don't forget about the blade core. Not only dose the cone look cool in a collection
but it's a good skill to have. Scap blocky shaped pieces from your debitoge pile make
good cores.
I will not be home until some time next week. Ill try to get in on sept POTM befor it's over.

Stringman, tough luck on the buss Folsoms. Really good atempts for direct percussion flutting. I really beleave that they used some sorta pressure back in the day for those and cumbrrlands.
skyarrow:
Well here is my first attempt at this bolen the one on the left with the stalled notch :( the other i broke the notch so i matched it on the other side
