It's all Hillbilly's fault!
mullet:
Ha! Ha! You are hooked, And I'm glad. You deserve it after making those points. Nice.
david w.:
WOW those are so nice! I cant believe those are only some of your first ones.
Is the last point fluted?
mullet:
Show us a sideways shot? ::)
FlintWalker:
David, that last one is kinda fluted, I tried, but don't really know how. ???
Eddie, I tried to fight the urge to try it again, but it was raining all weekend here and with no bows going right now, I had to find something to do. I would like to try some obsidian though, you know...just to see if I can ::) I'll try to get some sideways shots posted as soon as I can. I'll go ahead and tell you thought. The little one is about 3/16" thick and the other two are 1/4" thick in the middle. Saw Filer
FlintWalker:
Here ya go Eddie. I can see that my center line isn't as straight as it could be. I think I need to slow down and take more deliberate, smaller flakes as I get closer to the final shape. I didn't do very much fine flaking on the edges of these since I had no intention of trying to get them very sharp. In fact, I knocked the sharp edges off these since I don't plan to use them.
The first pic is the wannabe clovis, the next is the bigger blade and the last is a little Dovetail I made last night.
I've got a lot to learn, but if I can just get to where I can make a decent hunting point, i'll be happy.
