Clovis points

(1/2) > >>

nclonghunter:
For those of you that can make a Clovis, what method and or jig are you using?

I have tried a couple by striking the prepared tip with a bopper and have had poor results, so I want to try something new. Would like to see some pictures of your results and methods.

Thanks

I do what you've been doing or use In-direct percussion after I prepare the nipple.

Nc, I have fooled around a little bit with both a guillotine and a solberg type jigs, I need to do alot more playing. I have had mixed results, mainly no consistency. No photo of jig but here's a couple of points. Bob   Opps first photo doesn't have a flute :(

mullet:
Nice flutes, Bob. Both sides?

Outbackbob48:
Eddie, ya both sides see If I can find pic of the other side or maybe still got both points around for another pic. They all got a A&B ;D The last one is a pc of Georgetown and probably my best fluted attempt to date. You need tons of material and your preforms need to be dead on for good results, Hey a little luck doesn't hurt either. :o :o Bob
