Title: My latest
Post by: skyarrow on July 24, 2012, 12:05:00 pm

Recenly I found one of thoses pretty blue beer bottles on the road so I decided to make a small point form it well things were going good till I started on the base and broke it  :( well now it is a takedown point lol. I was determined to make a point so I made a small garza bird point from the tip and a button  scraper from the base :)

Looks like you utilized every part of that bottle! Them are great repros.  Keep knapping.

I found someone that likes the liquid in the blue bottle today ;D I asked him to stash some away for me.  We'll see! Also found out that when we were scouting for some Attica green today Tracy found a blue bottle and left it sitting there :'( I think he had his hands too full of real rock to waste time with blue glass ;) Cowboy:  I hope you knap some of that stuff!!!  I am in love with it.  I would love to see what you can turn out of it ;)

I think it's called bud light platinum 6% stuff it has a odd aftertaste best to drink it ice cold so the chill will kill your tastebuds lol

Bevan let me try a couple of those blue bottle bottoms this weekend. I broke both of them in short order. I'm more impressed with your points after failing so impressively. :-[
