Texas stone

(1/3) > >>

paulc:
I have come my closest so far in getting a legit point from some Texas stone. Thought I ought to document my success. I will leave it sit for a couple days before I start picking at it again and reduce it to a dull bird point incapable of cleanly cutting a room temp stick of butter....Paul :-K

JEB:
Looking pretty good. A little heat would have tamed that rock a bit. If it is your very first arrowhead I would frame it and then a year down the road compare your work. I have my very first two I made, one pressure flaked and one percussion.  There is a bit of a difference after 10 years.

Parnell:
Ha!  Keep at it.

paulc:
That is cooked stone :-) !  At least as best my toaster oven could do.... maybe I should cook it again?  P

Russ:
looks good! that stone looks basically like quartzite to me!! lol!
