by far the thinnest cumberland ive made.  thinnest spot on the base is about 1mm.

Post by: leapingbare on August 12, 2013, 11:03:34 pm

Really hard to get the camera on my iPhone to take a good pic of the base.
Got a penny for reference.

See I knew you were holding back!!! Cool stuff Jesse..I always agreed with you on the whole jig and pressure theory!! Its totally possible that a jig of bone and wood was made and used..for the nay sayers jigs arent as easy as some may think..it requires equal if not more skill to get everything right and down to a science ..even then stone doesnt always cooperate.  You break a lot of nice preforms to get em right!..Aloha and great work bro. Jesse I stillhave that box of flutes andbroken attempts u sent me years ago for study pieces!...u probably dont remember..lol

Jessie I always loved these points. I built a jig like the one you discribed in your PM to me 1.5 years ago and gave it a try, it is very difficult to do what your doing. Those are works of art. I wanted to show one of my flutes but I did not have the other side prepped just right so I stopped.

Pappy i remember the 1st time i used it.. it was in the cabin on the coffee table with Shannon at about 12am-1am and you were sleeping on the couch.  :D

Post by: Huntinfool on August 17, 2013, 05:02:24 pm

I noticed the band-aid on the ankle! LOL!

And I've noticed a lot of you knappers where sandals or low top sneakers. All of which I'd be leary of wearing. I'm new I guess and not used to all the blood letting!

Oh yeah awesome points and flutes too somewhere around here I have a certificate for finding a Clovis point!!
