Post by: bushman on September 18, 2010, 03:01:14 am

Here is a picture of my latest knapping:

The 3 bird points on the bottom left are chert, clear point top left is a small flake from a computer monitor screen, the point beside the clear one that looks black is actually green, its a piece from a welding goggle lens, makes a nice lookin point. That rock on the right is a small had axe, not sure what type of rock it is.

Looking good.  I wish I had thought to make some of those back when I could still see without peepers.  Damn global warming!  Bill

     Eddie, you left your glasses in the Dallas Airport?  Don't they have a Dollar store in lakeland?  I believe, I saw quite a few the last time I  was in the general vicinity.  I always, buy a couple of pairs, when I am in one.  I sit on them, lose them, break them etc.
     Bush man, lookin good.  I make bird points too.  I start out with a nice six to seven inch knife in mind, then, suddenly the rock decides it wants to be a bird point. >:(Soooo I have to do what the rock wants. ::)  Where did you get the hand axe? 8)
