Finished point!

(1/2) > >>

Allyn T:
This is raw harvester chert, I broke this piece twice through recklessness before I buckled down and got serious. This is my second finished point from a spall to point. Indirect percussion saved my hide on this one, that technique is wonderful. I sharpened this one too but I won't hunt with it, it'll either stay with me or I'm giving it to my dad. I feel like I am finally understanding platform preparation which to me seems like the most crucial part of flintknapping.

bjrogg:
Very nice Allyn.

That certainly much better than my second point.

Tower:
Great point.  Love the two tone tan!

Allyn T:
Thank you BJ, this is my second point from direct percussion all the way through but I pressure flaked probably 11 points a couple years ago and I have a bunch of preforms I've messed up and broken a ton of pieces. All that is to say that it isn't just the second time I've tried to make a point, I don't want to mislead you.

Thank you tower, I really like this stone.

Wolfmanjack:
Very nice!
