working hard on the flint knapping exhibit
Pat B:
y nice, John. Are you using ABO tools to build it? ;D

Hats off to you for supporting a museum. Museums are like windows that help us see into a world much bigger than the world that we know. Along with the lithics you may want to consider showing photos of flakers, and hammerstones, that are routinely found in American archaeological sites. I have a few flaker photos around, if you need some. The records of flakers span from the advent of the archaic era, in many areas, right into the proto-historic era. Some flaker types are commonly recognized, and some are not. By the way, the woodwork is amazing. I could never use handtools, very well...Lol.

they ask for an ABO exhibit of points. Most of the stone used for making the points came from my creek and the wood trim, reader boards, and cabinets are made from that lumber that I cut with the chain saw mill three or four years ago.

Thank you A.T. I cut, planed, sanded, and stained all of the wood work and made all of the trim and reader boards and my friend Matt, who is also a member and bow maker built the 8 foot tall cabinet from this Wood also. The projectile points in this exhibit took me 1 1/2 years to make and will include the works of many other knapper across the USA.
