Fun with coral
« on: July 27, 2010, 08:49:26 am »
This is some more of the coral i got when i was down in FL with Eddie.
I am having allot of fun with this stuff, its not easy to work but makes killer looking points.
I'm also having fun learning the fl point types.
enjoy :)

Very cool material and super nice work.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intentions of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body. But rather to slide in sideways, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming....WOW WHAT A RIDE!!

Jesse, those are some great looking points. Not much material out there prettier than that coral, either.

 Man, Jesse, you have those Florida points down pat. That is a killer looking Simpson and you are nailing those Newnans.

Jesse, not sure yet. That Saturday is Tina's birthday. Hate to run off to a knap-in then. I might try to at least come down for part of it.

Pretty darn nice.

I don't do a lot of knapping yet still have a few that I haven't hafted.  What do you guys that do a lot of knapping do with all the stuff you make?

Mark, I sell all my work.
 I have a page on flintknappers.com
http://www. flintknappers.com/store.php?sid=NDk%3D

and i also go to knap-ins were i sell my stuff. Having my knapping be a source of income it motivates me to knapp more and strive to make the best points i can.
