I was wondering if we had a PITH 2023?
-
No, Tower. Wasn’t one.
-
No, Tower. Wasn’t one.
Yeah it has been a little slow around here.
Bjrogg
-
Anyone interested in having one.
-
I’m sure I have enough rock to make a nice point for someone
-
I’ll take that as two entries.
-
I'll give it a shot, Don. See if I can work it in between two upcoming eye surgeries.
-
Put my name on the list. RickB
-
Sounds great. I’ll give it a few more days 9/23 sound good to close?
-
It’s been awhile since I hit any stone and will probably be awhile before I can get at it, but put me down for one.
Bjrogg
-
I’ve been back to it a bit…I’ll do one. Thanks, Tower.
-
I've moved to to the top.
-
Count me in for a point.
Paul
-
I'll join if it's still open.
-
I reckon we can call it closed. I’ll agree a finalized list & who we will send to this evening.
This is going to be fun. I always look forward to these
-
Worked on mine today, just need a little shaping and edge work and it'll be done
-
Ok. Here is what I have come up with.
Hopefully I haven’t missed anyone. If I have I can make it up
Deerhunter21
Tower
Paulc
RickB
AllynT
Parnell
Bjrogg
Mullet
Everyone ships to the name above them. The name at the top of the list ships to the name at the bottom.
Does shipping out by 10/28 sound good to everyone?
-
Works good for me! I’m glad we could get this going guys! :)
-
I'm cool with it but I did get Parnell last year, he makes fantastic points but I would like to add someone new to my collection
-
I put the names in a hat & pulled them out one at a time & wrote the names in that order. It’s as fair a way as I can imagine. I have several points from the same people over the years. It’s kinda neat to see how their skills have progressed. I hope it work for y’all.
Don’t forget to send your address to the person shipping to you.
-
Yep I get it lol I did it out of a hat last year
-
Thanks Tower.
I think I can make the deadline but if I don’t i promise I will send a point out as soon as I can.
The next couple months get really crazy on the farm
Bjrogg
-
End of Oct will tough for me but I will try. If Rick wants to hold my point till I confirm shipment is cool w me.
Looking forward to it either way. Paul
-
Looks great! I’ll start working on it. Hard to believe I’m not getting a point from you Tower! Ha!
Thanks.
-
paulc - I tried to PM you for mailing address as I have your point ready to mail out.
Allyn T - I will be receiving a point from you. Sent you a PM with my mailing address. )P(
Everyone ships to the name above them. The name at the top of the list ships to the name at the bottom.
-
mullet i Sent ya a Pm!
Tower, I sent you my shipping address
-
Just now checking in, got the surgery done on both eyes in the last two weeks. Deerhunter ending you my address.
Steve, I bet I have more Tower points then you. ;D
-
Mine is finished. I just need to make it to the post office
-
Hello Rick, I got your point! As I kinda expected your work puts mine to shame. Someday I will make stone art like the rest of you folks. Super nice point, great color. And THIN. And a catfish barb for notching...??? Must have been a giant catfish.
The generosity of this group continues to be over the top. Thanks all, Paul
-
Paul, I'm glad you like that point. I wish I had a source for that Georgia jasper as it was nice to work. We grow some big catfish around here.
The barbs are tough and will make good notching tools. A week and a half ago I caught a monster 65 pound flathead catfish while the
wife and I were camping at Santee SC State Park. This is a personal record and beats the 52 pound blue cat I caught on rod and reel in the
late eighties.

That's a nice catfish, Rick! The Santee has some really big ones.
-
I got two very nice arrow heads from Eddie yesterday. I barely had time to look at them. Very nice Eddie thank you. I’m sorry I didn’t get pictures yet but I promise I will
Bjrogg
-
Glad they made it, Brian.
-
Well I'm finally shipped. Took me longer to mail it than it did to make the point
-
Sad I missed this! Not on here much since the site lost its secure status. I can't access it at work. Busy as can be when I get home. Looks good though!
-
Sent mine out today!
-
Received a nice and sharp point from Allyn yesterday along with a piece of Missouri harvester chert like the point was made from. Thanks Allyn

-
I’m working on it…make a decision soon. :)
-
I'm glad it made it safe Rick. I hope you get a good point out of that rock.
-
I received two, Fine looking points and some flakes to play with from Deerhunter. Russel, your knapping has sure come a long way! I'll get some pictures posted when I get back from Pappy's.
-
Shipped me package out last Saturday.. I threw an extra point in for shipping a lil late
-
My package should at least be boxed up this weekend and shipped no later than middle next week.
Thanks! Paul
-
Well I received an awesome point and a couple spalls from Parnell but I can't get the picture to upload

Maybe this link will work
-
I got two absolutely gorgeous points from Tower! These have to be some of the best points I’ve ever seen!
-
My package shipped today USPS, expected delivery THur. Paul
-
I’m happy you like them!
-
Tower, I included a real pretty piece of flint that is too complicated for me- I would surely turn it into pretty gravel. I hope you can get something from it! Paul
-
I’m really sorry I haven’t gotten to posting pictures of my points from Eddie yet let alone sending out my points.
Here’s a couple pictures of Eddie’s. They really look like they belong on an arrow shaft. Nice work Eddie. Sorry it took me so long, but I’m hoping things settle down a little after Thanksgiving.
Hopefully get my point sent out
Bjrogg
-
Nice ones! Not concerned Brian. I know you’ll get it done.
-
Those are pretty...
-
Those look nice for sure
-
Boy I missed this one by a mile. The points all look great. I guess I got to check in more often. I've been knapping and keeping the chips flying.

I have been unbelievably busy yet. I’m very sorry I haven’t finished my point. Actually that isn’t true. I have finished my point but I wanted to do a little more.
I’ve been working at it in my very limited and sporadic free time.
Here’s what I’ve got so far
Corner notch
Bjrogg
-
Dry fitting a small piece of deer jaw bone
Bjrogg
-
A little pitch glue.
Hoping to finish it soon. Need to wrap with sinew yet.
Sorry it’s taking so long Steve, but I’m trying to make up for the wait
Bjrogg
-
I’m sorry it took me so long Steve but I’m finally shipped. Sure hope it gets there ok.
Bjrogg
-
Looks great Brian and looking forward to seeing it. I’ll let ya know when gets here and not a thing about the wait. Your communication has been great, buddy. A very Happy New Year!
-
Got here nicely, Brian! I like it a lot. Great size, comfortable to hold and sharp!
Thanks, buddy.
-
Glad it made it there okay. Once again sorry it took so long
Bjrogg

I really don’t mind. Patience and surprises are some of the best things.
