Thebes
« on: May 11, 2013, 06:39:56 pm »
The Thebes point is one of my favorites, aw heck there all my favorites, We find very few of them in NW Penna but have seen a few originals from Ohio. Any knowledgeable Thebes knapper I need pointers. I also got a request for a colorful necklace point and found this little flake of flint ridge an got the small corner notch out of it, Thanks for lookin an comments or critique is welcome.  I sure did enjoy a cold rainy afternoon of knapping.

Those are some fine looking points you made.
My neighbors say (It would be alot easier to buy truck loads of gravel).

Very nice points Bob! Looks like some hornstone and I have a couple field find Thebes made of it. They are mostly what I have found in IN.

Real nice work Bob!  The flint point should make a nice pendant. Haft it up like a short arrow.  I'm making one for my son right now and giving it to him before we go to Cloverdale in June.  I'll post when done. Nice work again, dpg
