Title: More Hunting Points Pic of more points added
Post by: madcrow on July 08, 2009, 07:28:55 am

Here are a few more that I knocked out last night.

All three of the dacite points came from the same hand size spall.  I had it thinned down pretty good with only two or three platforms left to hit.  It was going to be a nice axe head.  My duaghter stuck her head in the building and yelled "daddy, where is the tent?"  as I was on the downswing.  I jerked and missed the platform and one preform became three.  Oh well, better luck next time.

I like the old whiskey bottles.

I may notch the glass point, or I may make a knife handle for it.  Undecided right now.  Here are a few more points I did this morning.

Thanks everybody.  Dang Shannon, quit hitting concrete.  I made a few for me when I made those and only wore one out.  Of course, I weighted it with two pounds of lead and then spalled out about 20 pounds of rhyolite. The solder finally broke on the last hit. >:D >:D >:D

That beautiful first picture is now a broken piece of stone hafted onto a river cane shaft :(.  It shot really really nicely until I hit a ball bearing which was lodged in the target.  Don't ask me what a ball bearing was doing in the target.  Meh.  The turkey tail you sent me has got to be my favorite of the lot!
