Well its about time I started getting into Knapping! Finally tried it for the first time at the classic and got some tag team lessons from Will H and Stringman. Will hooked me up with a bucket of material, some tools, and an unbelievably beautiful point for me to examine. What a guy! Well I've been getting to work a bit and finally busted something out. It's the first time I really felt like I had some control and it wasn't an already decently flat flake. Kind of bulky but its a start! Also a pic of some other "points" made from large flakes I practiced my pressure flaking on. Not sure what any of the materials are. Thanks for looking!
