New best point

(1/2) > >>

Strongbow88:
Heres a pic of my newest point i made. Its made of some of that flint river stuff I found. It started out as a real blocky piece of rock. I cant even begin to describe how much I learned making this point.
I think the dull brown color takes away from the quality of the point.

Otoe Bow:
Nice point man.  Are those cuts on you hand?  :-\  If so, you're a knapper.   ;D

I really like that material.  pretty stuff.

Woodland Roamer:
Nice point! That flint river is great stuff and finding it yourself just makes it that much better.

FlintWalker:
Don't be so hard on yourself, I really like that drown stuff and the oint looks great.
  Otoe bow, I just drove a flake down through my leg pad and about 1/4" deep in my leg, does that count?

Hillbilly:
Good looking point. I love the butterscotch color of that Flint River myself, some of my favorite rock to work. If you heat it a little, it will get a lot of red color in it, but I like the raw stuff better for points that will be used. Don't fall into the "calander knapper" trap of only using colorful candy rock, you'll shortchange yourself out of a lot of learning and functionality both.
