Title: April point of the month.. Post erm up
Post by: leapingbare on March 28, 2011, 01:25:07 pm
I guess we need some ideas 1st.
 Everyones pinetrees looked really good!!
Serrated Dalton would be a good one to follow up the pine tree i think.
The serrations are done the same way :)

Well I decided to get a start on the Dalton point and laid out four of my biggest flakes. Surprisingly I was able to get what I consider a decent Dalton for NC Rhyolite and my skill level. So I will go ahead and put it out here to start Aprils challenge. Can't wait to see all the great points to coming.

Thanks for the response Piper and Mullet.

Mullet, I hear ya. NC turkey season comes in on April 9th. I am mutating into the "obsessed turkey hunter"each day. At least that's what my wife says. ::)

That's awesome Lyman...I don't think you could get a better rock/point type match up than a Hardaway Dalton and Rhyolite combo.

Post by: jamie on March 29, 2011, 08:59:42 pm

heres one from some raw pedernales. having a real tough time getting clean serrations with the ulna. they are sharp as hell i just cant em clean looking. 3 1/2" long 3/16" thick. all hammerstone percussion, thin with a moose billet and dressed with the ulna as always.

Beautiful point Jamie. I don't recall seeing that color of green before, I like it.

I may have to get in on this one. I have been out of the loop for a good bit with my knapping, but as of late have my interests and time back.

Jamie, I read somewhere that some abo serrations where made with small flakes at 90 degrees?
Title: Re: Vote for April point of the month
Post by: jamie on March 30, 2011, 09:48:52 pm
tim i was just looking at some of the ones in overstreet and thats exactly how they look to be done

I've got a real big Kirk Serrated point I foundwith an impact break on the tip and broken stem that has some amazing Abo serrations that are 90dgs. I'll post some close ups tomorrow.

Post by: jamie on March 31, 2011, 07:31:34 pm
nc i think its mostly the lighting that made it green. it a greenish grey. that how most of my serrations look ed. i tried again with this novaculite one and did better except for creating a couple stacks.

Scott, you are improving daily. 8)

I remember the first time you came and set at our tarp....You remember that? ;)
Title: Re: Vote for April point of the month
Post by: nclonghunter on April 03, 2011, 01:20:09 am
I am liking all the points.
 
Stringman, I like that point held up to the light, shows the profile very nicely.
Title: Re: Vote for April point of the month
Post by: Stringman on April 03, 2011, 12:35:45 pm
Yeah, Tim I do. I gotta find a way to pay you back for that "tarp time" too! Gonna try to make it down to Marshall this summer, you gonna be there?
Title: Re: Vote for April point of the month
Post by: Timo on April 03, 2011, 12:37:55 pm
Scott, no worries on the payback, just seeing you progress with your abilities is more than enough payment.

I will most likely make Mojam, I have only missed a couple of them and it's only 1 1/2 hours from home. ;D

Post by: jonathan creason on April 06, 2011, 04:08:24 pm
Got one done today.  Of course, it's not nearly as good as any already posted, but I'm somewhat pleased with it.  I'll have to get some pics up later since I left my camera at home.

Post by: rwaterman00 on April 07, 2011, 03:57:07 am
made this one yesterday. i never make serrated points, it's hard to get em right. next time i'll space them out a bit more and try to make them more pointy
Title: Re: April point of the month.. Post erm up
Post by: jamie on April 07, 2011, 08:46:11 am
real nice. like the bands in the rock
Title: Re: April point of the month.. Post erm up
Post by: leapingbare on April 07, 2011, 09:13:32 am
that looks very good rwaterman!
 Dont space them anymore thats very good, you can use a sharp bone or a nail notcher and make them sharp.

I just thought it looked good in the cell pic you sent...that looks awesome. I wish I had time to try one....too much to do right now, maybe next weekend.

Why is it that the ring finger always has a bandaid on it? I have cut that finger two times this week in the same place!
Title: Re: April point of the month.. Post erm up
Post by: leapingbare on April 08, 2011, 04:44:18 pm
that finger usually ends up in the spot were most flakes detach from the bottom side of the bi face during thinning.
Title: Re: April point of the month.. Post erm up
Post by: jamie on April 08, 2011, 06:39:20 pm
mines all scar tissue now. the flakes are afraid to touch it  ;D
Title: Re: April point of the month.. Post erm up
Post by: rwaterman00 on April 10, 2011, 02:49:43 am
hmm i figured my ring finger always got cut because: the gods of flintknapping are trying to cut that wedding band off. they know that the honeydo list keeps me from knapping sometimes:)
