 Real Sweet, Jesse. That look's like a crap load of chipping. I like that blue, I've been getting home from work and bopping out preforms. I'll probally take them to the lease this weekend and work on them in the shade.

 Paul, I've been like you. It has just been too hot and too many mosquitos when I get home from work to mess with anything. Since I've been getting all this rock my saw won't cut easy I've gone back to banging. It's like learning all over again.

Dang Jesse!
 Looks like you nailed them Clovis points.
 One day...maybe one day, I'll get to your level.

That J.C. is some of my fav rock,but hard to find in size.

I picked up a piece of blue the other day and whacked some on it,I can tell I will like the rock,but the one I started on had a bunch of lil gold critters in it and one big one in the mid section....Things didn't work out to well with saving them. :(

Jesse:  You need to start making videos of your work and making some profit!  Over the years I have met some of the "elite" knappers and your work ranks right up there with their's!  Pokie

Man Jesse, That is some impressive knapping.  I can't believe you made all of those in 8 hrs. :o. Those are some beautiful blades.  Is the debitage hitting the roof of the knapping pit yet ? ;D.
