-
Glad you like it.
WA
-
Wow that's a beauty there Chippintuff. I don't know how you guys do those deep notches. I break something or stall out every time. Very impressive.
Bjrogg
-
Yeah, that’s a beauty. Good for you guys!
-
Good work everyone! WA great Andice!
-
Got 2 nice points & some nice flakes to chip from BrewerMO today.
-
Great!!! They made it there quickly. I just sent mine out in Monday afternoon...😁
-
here is one I will probably be sending out. it is a mix of mahogany and rainbow. I thought there was a name for this kind of mixed flow obsidian. Does anyone know that it is called?
-
Jeff that looks like what Jeb called tri flow. Nice point
Bjrogg
-
I received these points and material to work today from BrewerMo.
Thanks man the points look great! And I can't wait to try out this material.
-
Good deal, both points and the rock is local Burlington I collected.
The top point was a small flake I wanted to use because I thought it looked neat..😁
-
Got two beauty points from Mullet ( Thanks Eddie ! ) Will post pictures this week ' Frank
-
Glad they made it, Frank. the little one is what I hunt with.
-
When I saw it 1st time That is what came to mind I believe it a deadly design (SH) ' Frank
-
points going out....been picking at these for quite a while and last night instead of staying late at work like I should have I went home and took these as far as I dare. Hope to have them in the mail this weekend along with some flakes and such for guys to play with. Not the quality that you all normally post but the best I can do this go round. thanks, Paul
-
Those look familiar Paul. Are you sure you didn't swipe my beginner points? Mine looked just like that just a short awhile back.
Bjrogg
-
Thanks, I'm trying but a lot of life getting in the way these days. And of course I'm trying not to use copper but Stephen P gifted me some boppers when I saw him in Naples and they sure are tempting. Such a better energy transfer compared to stone and bone....keep on chipping.

-
Those look good Paul. I'll be home next weekend and should bearound for a while except for the tenn. Classic.
-
Got these beauties a while ago from Sasquatch and I’ve been a horrible procrastinator! They’ve gotta be amongst the flattest in the collection. Truly great, thanks bud!
-
Good progress! PaulC - ya done good. You'll be whipping them out in no time, I'm sure of it. ;)
Sasquatch those points are beauties.
Eddie, glad to see you are coming home for awhile. Time to catch up, looking forward to it.
-
Sounds great, Steve. Still a little time left in Turkey season.
-
i am yet to receive any pith package yet....not a big deal but kinda confused as to why anybody would enter a pith and then not send it for over a month....i will opt out for the future
-
The knappers have until May 12th to ship their points.
-
Mike the deadline is actually May 12th to ship. There's a fair amount of outside Knappers waiting for warmer weather. I have mine done and plan on shipping next week if all goes well. I want to send mine out before I get to busy.
I hope you end up happy with the trade.
Bjrogg
-
Mine are going out this weekend.
Paul
-
Yeah Swataramike, I’m one of those guys who can’t ship till April. We still are hitting the teens at night and getting a bit of snow. I only use obsidian and it usually seems more brittle in the cold so I wait till we’re staying above freezing for a couple days. Also it’s just too darn cold for the fingers when it’s so chilly! I broke an arrowhead into my pinky a while back and cut through the tendon sheath(thankfully not the tendon) and didn’t feel it for a couple hours waiting in the ER my fingers were so cold. Think it was -10 or something when I did that.
-
my bad....i just have an ocd thing....i ship mine out the next day after i recieve my name....i also knap in my garage loft so i knap all year long..wasnt really complaining just didnt really get it ...but makes sense if you cant knap indoors....thanks
-
I got a Knappers care package from JEB man can this guy Knapp!!! That point is supper thin! I love the point description and printed paper. Thanks for the buttons and beads. I already used the buttons on a leather vest from Tower.
-
Hi Eddie, I tried sending you a PM but now I can't find a record of it in my email chain...Would April 21 work for you for a get together? Say late AM/lunch till afternoon some time? I'd have to clear it with wife to finalize on my end.
Paul
-
Right now that sounds good to me. I'm flying home Thursday and plan on squeezing in some turkey hunting. I'm putting it on the calendar, just let me know. Found out last night that Australia is in my future.
-
Mookite :o ;D
-
That's a nice package Sasquatch. Nice work Jeb those are some beauties.
Bjrogg
-
JEB/Sasquatch...Wow. Good stuff!
@swataramike - :) We'll make sure everyone is covered at deadline and that things wrap up. I have nothing but warm weather and wait until about closing to ship...sending the best points I come up with in the time - to each their own. Hope you do choose to participate again, next year.
-
yeah i will....i understand not everybody can knapp in the winter... :KN
-
Man oh man there are some nice points being turned out.
Sasquatch and JEB you guys make some VERY nice points! Great job fellas!
-
Eddie, confirmed with my better half, she is onboard so I will see you the 21st. I think im about 4hrs or so from you...? See you about lunch time or so, stay till youre tired of me :-)
Paul
-
Come on. I'm not supposed to leave again till the end of the month.
-
I just received an amazing point from Bonepile. It shows me just how far I have to go yet. Thank you. It is beautiful. I will post pictures soon.
-
That's it for pictures????
-
I'm shipped hopefully they survive the trip and my recipients like them.

Mullet
I wuz gonna wait till after the Niblets Bluff knap in to send a point so I would have some better rock to work with.
The local landscape supplier got a new load of gravel the other day and I was able to find a few good pieces so I will make something and send it sooner so you will get it before leaving again.
-
No rush. Might give me something to look forward to seeing when I get back. I'm leaving around the 30th.
-
Recev'ed a couple of beauties from Mullet ... been wanting to post pictures all kinda reasons why I didn't yet , none of them big enough alone ... Here goes ' Frank

Still working on my pith points fella's I should have them sent out next week ! ' Frank
-
Got a package from Outback today. Two really nice ones.
Thanks Robert they look great.
Bjrogg
-
Mullet, pm me your contact info. I hope to hit the road tomorrow by 7am.
Paul
-
Got this beauty from bjrogg! Was delivered a week or more ago but no one let me know. Saw it on side table. This baypoint stuff looks cool but doesn’t look too easy bud!
Need to get better at taking photos inside. Raining outside and cold.
-
Haha. I was starting to wonder. I sent both of my recipients awhile back and tracking said they were delivered to mailboxes. Was starting to wonder if the right mailboxes. Glad you found it Tracker. That Bayport stuff is though. I've tried heating it and it didn't really help much. I'm thinking I got some trees that fell in the ice storm I might have to cook some of this though stuff awhile. It does make a very durable point if it makes one at all. Probably why don't find many fancy points around here
Bjrogg
-
Bowtarist got a burlington(?)biface/blade and a beautiful long skinny obs blade from Redhand. Thanks man!! I will try to get pics up this week. Y'all look me up at the classic.
-
Patches and bjrog I got your points, My laptop took a turn for the worse, I'll get pictures up asap. In the meanwhile i reckon I should start practicing smoke signals till it's running again (lol)
Also i finally ran into some quality flint, I'll get my points sent out shortly! Hope everyone is having a good spring time filling turkey tags :G and receiving their pith! (SH)
-
Scratch that patches, i got Paulc's pith...
-
Glad you got it cowboy.
Bjrogg
-
Here are the points I got from Redhand. Thanks man!
Do you go to the Classic? I'll be there from late Friday until Monday morning this year. Look me up if you're there. Have a gooder y'all, dpgratz
-
Got my points knocked out , will have them in the mail no later than Monday ... They comin' boys ! ' Frank
-
Got these beauties from Redhand
A large obsidian point and a drill looks like black novaculite,
Thanks Redhand
-
Great posts. Look like some real nice ones.
-
Nice !
-
well, I tried to see if I could improve on the points I had, but I am afraid I just produced gravel. Some days it works, some days it doesn't. I am afraid I won't give as good as I got, but here is one from Bone Pile that I have been meaning to post for a while. I will ship tomorrow. I will let the recipient show those points later.
This point by Bone Pile is a real beauty, though. I couldn't be happier with it.
-
The scale doesn't show well. Here is another. the point is really big by my standards -- a good 3 inches by 2 inches. Really thin too.
-
Very nice Jeff. Like the self portrait there bone pile. I'd have to save that packing cardboard.
Bjrogg
-
That’s a great point and a real neat way to send em! Always thought I should include a little info with my points.
-
Bowtarist - Glad you like the points. The classic is on my bucket list.
1442 - Glad you like the points man! and thank the good lord above that obsidian point found you in one piece. I didn't have too much faith in our local USPS.
That is a well made point Jeff, bone pile sure does some great work!
-
Great looking points. Rog' has those Florida points down pat. Looks like coral from the Alafia River.
-
Here are the points I received from Paul C.
Thank you for the points!
Neal
-
Got some from Parnell yesterday. Hoping to get mine out by tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest.
-
I got a box from Tracker today I didn't get to open it yet.
-
Dylan's points have arrived! Thanks a bunch they look great even if one didn't survive the trip. I'll put a point on it and get it on an arrow. Great looking rocks! Thanks, Paul
-
Dang! Was worried about that tip. Those 2 are still good preforms though, make sure to show us what they become!
-
I just got my points from Sparrow today--I was out of town on Saturday when they must have arrived. They are really nice. I will see if I can get pictures soon.
-
Received these from Sparrow, very nice Frank, thank you!
-
Got 2 nice points from Tracker & Flungonin thanks guys.
-
I received points from Tracker. I’ll get some pics posted soon.
-
I am wondering if the points I sent made it safe?
-
I received my two points from Jeff51.
-
Got mine from 1442 today. Man! well worth the wait. Thanks, Terry. Not only did I get a fine looking point but also a fishhook I wouldn't hesitate to use fishing. Along with some fine Texas rock. Thanks, these are going in my Best of the Best, case.
-
Got mine from Trapper Rob today. Will post pictures tomorrow or Friday.
Neal
-
Very nice Eddie. That was worth the wait for sure. Love those fish hooks 1442
Bjrogg
-
thanks for the kind words
My big plan to wait till after the knap in didn't work as well as I thought it would.
Glad you got them Mullet and that background in the pics is pretty cool.
-
Also,
I wrote a note describing the materials and forgot to put it in the box
The base notch point is made of Knife River and the hook is made of Paute agate
-
Thats great! We are almost done, just seems to be one catch, but it’ll be taken care of...
Glad things are wrapping up pretty well.
Also, received a package from knapping cowboy today and really like them! Thank you.
-
I received my point from Knapping Cowboy yesterday and also 3 nice spalls of materials that I have worked very little of, I am going to guess at material type . Agate, Alaibates , and an unknown, KC the point is very well made and I'm guessing Agate. Thanks Bob
-
@ Knapping Cowboy ... pulled this point out of that broken preform...good stuff, thanks again.
-
Glad they got where they needed to be, what a relief...
@outbackbob i really couldn't tell ya what the material of those spalls are. Haha it just come from rock i stumble upon, enjoy!
@parnell, can't thank you enough for the opportunity to trade points and material with the PA community, you rock! And that preform was one of many casualties of pith 2018.
Glad you appriciate them, I'll do my best to get my received points up
-
I got a nice obsidian side notch from Trapper Rob today. I'll get a photo up tomorrow.
WA
-
Some very nice points being traded. Thanks for posting them.
Bjrogg
-
Yesterday I got a nice obsidian side notch point from Trapper Rob. The photo does not do it justice. I still have not found a way to take photos that show the flake scars without exaggerating them. The point is nice and "smooth" with pretty flaking.
WA
-
I don’t know why I’ve been having such a hard time getting photos to work lately, think it’s my internet, but I got a great box of points from knappin cowboy! The bigger one is definitely going on display! Nice and thin, straight, and a great design. Thank you
-
Here’s a sweet point from trapper. Sure like the material. Thank you very much
-
Here are the beauties I received from Tracker. Thanks man
-
Very nice, thanks for posting.
