Title: Dacite Point
Post by: Bugtussle on July 04, 2013, 11:56:10 pm

I thought I would do a little knapping while waiting on the fireworks to start.  Dacite is quickly becoming my favorite stone... Not as brittle as obsidian and doesn't an aneurysm like chert  :laugh:
Plus I like the waxy texture...

Thanks guys!  I am trying to get enough decent (and legal) points to hunt with this year so I am trying to figure out what style to use... Because you know the deer are really particular about the point they are shot with (or in my case... Shot AT with  :laugh:)

Thanks Tower!  I sincerely appreciate it.  Now if I could get something decent out of a piece of raw chert I would be as tickled as a dog in a hubcap factory!! ;D
