Title: A few new points
Post by: ricktrojanowski on August 18, 2009, 09:18:04 pm

Here are a few points I made recently.  They are still on the thick side, but I'm working on my thinning.  The long black one is Dacite, the middle one is Buffalo river, and the other is some untreated Texas. The Texas one is my favorite because it was from a small square block,  I surprised myself that I got anything out of it.  All percussion was with stone and antler the flaking was with copper.

Don't worry, rubble is still my specialty.   ;D  I have to really start getting them thinner and wider.  I'm hoping by next hunting season to have some hunt worthy heads.

Thick is good (personally I don't like 'em too thin)....and they look sharp.  Very nice, Rick.  8)
