You get one finished and drop it >:(
This was a pine tree. Really, I didn't even cuss. Spit happens :-\
I have managed to NOT drop a few lately. Mostly just hunting points. The Newnan is from a piece of coral Leapingbare gave me. He also gave me that coastal plains I made that corner notched point from.
Come to think of it.. he gave me that rock I made the Pine tree from too. Thanks Jesse ;D
The rest are Texas rock.
Oh BTW, I got the Texas rock from Cowboy, so thank you to Paul ;)

Ouch that sucks! Very nice work. I usually end up breaking them when I notch them, or during a final thinning.
-
Very nice chipping saw filer and cool looking matereal also..
Thanks for the PIC'S curt
-
verry nice. im not a good rock identifyer, so what is that yeller stuff?
-
I was told that it was coastal plains. I'll just have to take Leapingbares word for it cause I don't know. That Pine tree is Kay County. I glued the pieces I could find back together. I wish I could find the rest of it.
-
Thats too bad, but those are some really nice points.
-
Youch! That first one sucks - I mean the piece that's missing ::). You do some damn fine work Shannon - don't care what the material is, that is some fine workmanship!!
-
Good looking points Shannon! ;)
My wife dropped an authentic point I was showing her years ago...I almost cried, I think she did! :)
-
Dang man i have done that a few times... if you have watched me knapp, sometimes when i am doing the finishing touches on a point I'll have my knapping pad laying on the ground betwen my legs to catch the point when i drop it.
so what is that yeller stuff?
Thats Coral too. I did not have any butterscotch coastal when your were here.. so its gatta be coral.. +I can tell it is by the look of it.
Shanon your gettin really good. all those look nice.. and that newnan looks real good.
-
That sure looks like butterscotch. I left some in the knapping pit when I left the Classic.
-
