Title: Few more from the Gratz Pit 08-13
Post by: bowtarist on August 01, 2013, 09:13:50 pm

So I got into some rock the other day. Still breakin em when percussion thinning, but got one done from a nice chunk of burlington. The bigger one I'm real happy with, the flake point, well is a flake point and the TN/GA black chert I made out of a hump back piece in about 20 minutes last Sunday morning with a hang over while my Buddy had gotten up and gone for a bio-break.  Everything fell into place on that one.  I've started back at the high school, so my knapping is going to slow down even more now, right when I was feelin like "hey, oh yea". Hope to get a few more in before winter and season though.

 Thanks for lookin, dpg

Thanks Tracy.  The burlington is a nice point too. Sharp as all get out, kinda rough looking in the pics, but awe inspiring in person...at least to the folks who have kept up w/ my knapping.  Thanks again, dp

Thanks John,  ;) I like the burlington too.
