Point of The Month - Sticky
Ghost Knapper:
Very nice Bob. I will need to find some time this week to make one...or two.

The temp actually got above freezing so I took advantage and got another Snyders style point out of a pc of keokuk, had a pretty nice preform so thinned her down and got this one, I'm pretty happy with some nice flake scars and thin point. Thanks for lookin and lets see some others. Bob
Dalton Knapper:
Here's one I made of some sort of Obsidian. This is the first real Snyder's I ever made. A long time back, I thought any tear dropped shaped corner notched point was a Snyders.

Dalton, very nice, I like how you didn't lose anything length on the tips of the ears ;D. Wow first Snyders, that think is dang near perfect. Again very nice. Bob
Dalton Knapper:
Thanks! I have made plenty of other points and had to look at a great many Sniders before attempting one. Many of the old ones are quite large, so it makes you wonder what the Hopewell cultures did with them. They had bows, so what did they need with really large notched spear points?
