I got some coral from jcinpc a few years ago and hadn't done much with it. Here is the first Newnan I've ever attempted. It would work on the end of a stick. Since coral is from Florida, I tried a point type from Florida. It was knapped with copper and antler. It is also the first point I made since I had surgery that was not just a pressure flaked chip. It was supposed to be a longer and wider point than it turned out, but all my points start out that way.

Very nice looking rock, and also a well made point!

That's a nice'un, Jim-glad to see that you're back in action. Jeff always has some good coral.

Last time I talked to him his honey holes had dried up. But he had a pile at the house.

Yeah, since construction has come to a screeching halt, nobody's digging the ground up.

Nice point Jim, glad to see you back at it.

WOW, that makes my heart feel good to see you do my coral justice like that,lol. thats a killer point. I remember exactly where that coral came from and wished that site was still open, it was open only a few months for a pipeline and I found the finest raw orange coral there, it sold quick. Eddie is right I do sit on some still but I bust my butt for what I have, no more of the big 100lbers or even 50lber where you can drive big dinner plate spalls off of. I have been selling mainly to people who slab so as not to waste these 10 lb heads, again thats a fine point.

Thanks, Jeff. Those pictures of that rock of yours make me drool. I saved the biggest pieces of what I got from you so I could do them justice when I could handle it. That piece was just screaming my name every time I would open the box and I couldn't ignore it any longer. Glad (& lucky) I didn't trash it. Looking forward to when I work the nerve up again. It is nice to have such a pretty rock to work.
Alan, you don't know how good it is to be able to turn out a decent point again. I mostly pressure flaked chips so I wouldn't ruin good pieces of rock for too long. That's why most of my new stuff is little. That shoulder lets me know in a hurry when I've gone too far.
