Hummingbird Point:
Please add your own to this post.

I had some scrap rock to clean up and bifurcates have always been a favorite of mine.  I am notching impaired, and symmetry impaired, so this form does a good job of compensating for that.  These are done with antler, plus a little wood on the last one.

Rainy Buttes and a really cool looking piece of Kentucky Hornstone:


Raw Flintridge and green North Carolina Rhyolite:


Then I fell off the wagon and started hitting the hard stuff again with quartz and quartzite:

I have only see one guy knap with wood. Do you also pressure flake with wood? I will try to punch a couple bi out tonight and post some tomorrow. That stone just looks tough to me. Great job.

iowabow:
Looking at that quartz just makes my hands hurt lol.

iowabow:
One more post is that quartz as hard to knap as it looks?

turbo:
Nice job on these and all the points you've been posting. I know that green NC well, where did you pick it up? That's the good grade.
