Title: Some recent work
Post by: Flntknp17 on July 03, 2020, 02:56:02 pm

Hey all, I joined up a couple months ago and have posted a few times in the Bows forum.  I have been knapping as time allows since the late 1980s and really enjoy the way it allows be to better understand the ancient arrowheads and tools that we occasionally find.  The geology of chert is something that really interests me so its an ideal hobby.  Several head of big and medium game have been taken by myself and some friends with stone points that I made, which I think is pretty cool too.  The points below are the most recent things I have made.  I only get time to make about one a month.  Some are made entirely with abo tools, and some are made using copper tools.

Matt
