bjrogg:
Obsidian, hammer stone and Antler pressure flaker. Still need to make up something for notching and I'd probably like a Ishi stick, but actually got along very nicely with what I picked up off the ground

Nice point and no cuts on your hand. Rick B

Tracker0721:
Just need another tine and grind it to a good flat edge for notching. Looks great as is though! I’m getting tired of notching, might try making arrowheads without em and see how they hold.

bjrogg:
Thanks RickB. It does seem a rare case I don't shed a little blood.

Thanks Dbar. Actually when I first started I used this hammer stone and a tine. I was doing some spring cleaning and reorganizing awhile ago and put these in my tool box. I always did like the stone but the tine seemed to get better. Maybe drier? Seems less rubbery. At any rate I stepped back to that point in time.lol.

Thanks tracker. I know I have a tine ground down like that here somewhere. Might have to do more spring cleaning. I still find notching the most challenging and sometimes aggravating part. I'm sure they could be successfully halvted without notches.
