Here's a couple Dalton points and a Sonora blade I made this week. I don't know exactly what type you'd call that first one...just a Dalton I guess ???
The second one is supposed to be a Sloan Dalton. It ain't exactly right, but as soon as I get hold of some more rock I'm gonna try again.
That Sonora blade'll probably get hafted onto something tonight. It'll probably end up under somebody's Christmas tree. :-\

Dang, do you do anything except perfect points? ;D Those are awesome!
Hey, are you planning on being at the next classic?
-
he will be there ;)
Nice Shanon. your flack scars are looking good.
-
Two things I want to see.... you knocking out one of those "little" points and him running those little diagonal flakes. That will be well worth the price of admission.
-
very nice
-
If the Lords willing and the creeks don't rise...I'll be there!
Steven, no perfection here. Plus, you don't see all the ones I screw up. ::)
-
Cool points and blade.
Thanks Leroy
-
Yea, I guess it isn't really perfect... I think I see one flake out of place. ::) Hey I have a tree that thing would look really nice under. Someone is going to be real happy this Christmas. Oh yea, bring your marble making kit!
-
Steven, I used to make LOTS of marbles. But I don't have much equipment any more. I have a buddy that has a roll around outfit that I'm gonna try to borrow from him to bring with me. I think a few of the fellas down there would like to see how it's done, so they can make good use of those little chunks of pretty flint that usually gets thrown away.

are ready for more BIG words shannon ;D
SIMPLY INCREDIBLE,AWESOME WORK AS USUAL
you are one of a few folks on here who's work always make my jaw drop.
i love looking at your points/blades along with jesse's.
you guys are inspiring to me.
the points that i have recieved from the two of you during the last point trade,believe it or not.
i look at them damn near every day and just examine the flake scars adn patterns and the edges.
thanks to those points(such high quality of craftsmanship)i have improved my edging abilities.
its nice to have great points to look at and get inspiration from
keep those sweet points/blades coming.cant get enough of looking at your work.
wish i could make it to the classic and get pointers from you guys,but not in the vacation plans for next year. :-\
-
Excellent parallel flaking i wish i could do that.
-
Glad to see you're not bored with all the pictures Tim ;D
I wish you could make it to the Classic too. If you even make it once...You'll plan on it again. ;)
Oh, here's a MONSTER I made this evening. ;D

now thats a good un. i alwas wanted to make one of those.
-
I'll have to say, that was one tough little booger to make.
It was better, but I clipped part of the base off trying to notch it. It had a pretty little dovetail base. :(
-
you are becomming an Artist Shannon.....Man Jesse....you better watch out this Spring at the Classic....I think Shannon's gunna Rule............ :o
-
Excellent work as always Shannon :)
-
Sweet work Shannon, & if that`s not quite perfection, it`d be close enough for most of us out here.
I`d love it if any of mine looked nearly that good.
-
Great looking stuff Shanon,I like them all. :)
Pappy
-
Holy bejeebers ;D. I see your still at it Shannon - those are about as perfect as they come I would say..
-
damn dude
-
What Jamie said. :) Daltons are one of my favorite styles, and you make 'em look good. Nice Agee, too.
-
I would call that way better than "Stuff". Stuff is something you step in and hope you get it all cleaned off your shoe before you walk on the carpet. Stuff is also un-named junk that has built up in the attic or garage. I'd say you have the right stuff working to turn out points like those.
Those points are fine & a pleasure to look at. Beautiful work!
