well i opted to knap instead of nap and made a sweet little knife from Texas chert and deer antler and real nice hunting point from dacite ....a little question about that...is it pronounced- (day-site) or (dah-site) or is it tomayto or tomahto. anyways here they are and as always all done with abo tools. these are done with a single elk antler billet and 2 deer antler flakers.

Those are real nice. You can go ahead and box the up and send them to me. It will give me something to look at while I beat myself in the head with an ishi stick. :o

Ryan: You're an inspiration. :o I worked on one last night (after a full day of home remodeling) and got it to legal dimensions, but it's still a little fat. I hope I can get'm thin like yours. Those are so sweet, plus at the speed I work, that's about a year's worth.

Ryan: I'm not sure about the pronunciation of dacite - just call like ya see it, I've heard it called both ways but it's all the same stuff, heheh :). Your doing some fine work there, rain out's aren't all bad I reckon. Fine job on that TX stuff with all abo tools, looks like you thinned it out nicely..

Very nice... :)

thanks for the compliments guys, i am getting a little better with each one. i have a box of spalls that i used to think were garbage but i kept them anyway incase i ever got to a point where i could tackle them. Now i am using that box of "junk" and making better points than ever. i cant wait to use my good stuff again.- Ryan

i did the same . i went through my debitage and just started nocking points out from stuff i thought was unusable. if its a challenging piece of stone you learn a lot more from it than a simple flake. awesome work peace
