Thanks guys! Your too funny Shannon ;D. OK, here's another one from some material Jesse had on his tarp. Don't have a clue what it is, looks raw and kinda grainy but can't complain about how it works.

Great looking points and variety of styles!Maybe I should take a long break from knapping if the end products look like this :o Give me a call if you get rained out so you can restock on material to keep you busy at work ;D

Cowboy, that looks like some of the black dover that Jesse had. I ended up getting a 5 gal bucket of it an it works pretty good, the dark black seems to be better than the grainy tan colored stuff also Jesse told me soak it in water a few days before working. I like it and I like the point you made with it, doesn,t look like you had any problem at all with the Dover, Makes a real authentic looking point. I need to get into the stone I got from you an see if I can make something decent. Bob

 Nice point, Paul. I like that Dover and wish I had gotten more.

looks like the Dover Jesse sent me!  The Horse creek I got was some real nice stuff I made a nice 4" clovis  I ended up breaking it making an ametuer mistake by not holding it right and got shock and snapped the tip.  Was real pert going red grey white and almost blue.  Dam ....I will be more careful...lol Cowboy some fine work brother!

Time, dedication, cuts, tons of broken rock, a wife, and perhaps a few girlfriends are some of what it takes in becoming a skilled flint knapper!!!
