Title: Hardaway Dalton party
Post by: Ryan_Gill_HuntPrimitive on December 14, 2008, 10:08:22 pm

i knapped a few hardaway daltons this weekend. dacite and 1 keokuk.  one of them was turning out to be a nice clovis and i had a nice flute of one side and then had a slip of the hand and made the second flute well off of center and botched it up so a resorted to a dalton for a save. - Ryan

Nice work-the whole Hardaway complex are some of my favorite point types. Some of the originals were fluted.

Ryan, those are WAY too ugly to be shown on here.  I Think you need to send them to me immediately!  I will put them on some arrows and dispose of them quietly, into a deer's chest.  I think I'm the only one who could stand the embarrassment of being in possession of such ugly, poor work!   ;)   Just kiddin dude, those are some screamers!
