Title: St. Charles Dovetail
Post by: Will H on January 01, 2012, 11:47:54 pm

Well heres my first point for the new year  :)  I decided to try a dovetail after looking over a couple of John Thomas's the other night. It ended up 5"x 1 1/2" x 5.5:1 ratio made from some Sedalia chert I got from Shannon. He also hooked me up with his old copy of the overstreet manual so I could start learning some more point types. Thanks again Shannon! And thanks Jesse for everything man! You have really helped my knappin skills! We will miss you while your in Hawaii 8) 
Thanks fer Lookin! :o :o
