Post by: bubby on July 03, 2012, 07:53:15 pm

i got another nice flake off of some of the rock i got from cowboy, got this point out of it, i got to get some thicker flakes to get some scars to run on it, Bub(http://i623.photobucket.com/albums/tt320/bubncheryl/knapping/Picture001-25.jpg)

Good lookin notches. Love banded points. I've flaked some thin flakes. Need to keep the flaker sharp. When I get home I'll post a parital point I found. Its scary thin.

I  like the notches too.  I need to find a new way to notch, I use a copper nail flaker and tend to break off ears and bases MOST of the time. nice work Bubby! dpg

thank's tower, all i had with me was the 20 penney copper & no file and my notcheri'll try one real sharp & see what i get
thank's dp, try a icepick, cut it about 3" long and file and inch of it real thin, if it dont touch the sides there's less chance of snapping an ear off
thank's cip, the banded rock is cool, got some bulls eye too, Bub
