Mill Creek Clovis

bowmo:
Thanks guys. It was the perfect candidate for one since it a was an old thick clunky leaf shaped preform. Really do wish I could go back in time and hit it twice as quick now.

Zuma, the material is Mill Creek chert.

nc, ya for sure. I did this one with a flat rock with folded leather over it on my left leg, pressed it hard against it with my left hand and swung with my right. I really need to dress this billet, also I wish I had something with me to tie the stone to my leg, since I want it more on the side of my leg than I could really get it. I had many annoying attempts to get that 'right feel' on the second flute cuz the stone wanted to slip. But, I really don't see how jigs and such would have been needed by them. I don't consider myself very good or practiced at fluting and I knocked these off easy.

StevenT:
That is one nice "authentic" looking point. And the flake looks like it stayed in one piece. Love the look.

IdahoMatt:
Great point I love the shot of the flute flake.  Nice work

cowboy:
Nice flutes! That does look original.

JackCrafty:
Nice.
