Title: Texas points.
Post by: Tower on August 10, 2011, 06:29:48 pm

I had a little time today so put it to good use. The white point is a type of Pedernales, the middle point is west tx chert, the right is some Edwards . The gery w/ the inclusion came from Richland Springs TX. The Perd is raw, but the others have been heated.. The Richland rock is hard raw & brittle hreated.

No Mullet, I use a pressuer flaker W/ a steel nail to notch the points.

Them are looking good Tower! I do like your notching! As hot as it is down there you'd think the rocks would cook out in the sun..

Purt near Cowboy. I picked one up from the rino lining on my truck yesterday & almost burned myself. Had to kick it under the truck to cool off.

Very nice. I like the color of that Edwards stuff. How big of nail are you using to notch?

Commadore, I'm using a 10 penny nail beat flat & filed to look like a horseshoe nail.  Horseshoe nails are good but too soft for me. So I made my own.

Thanks Tower, I've been hunting for something that will work. Didnt want to buy a box of shoe nails so I've been experimenting with some 10 gauge copper and some finish nails I tried to harden some but nothing yet I like. I'll deffinately try this one.
