Oh what the heck. For no other reason other than I've always liked the shape. (and I can make one... kinda)

How about a snyders?


The middle one is the most recently made one of the group. It's a piece of this really lustery obsidian I got in a trade with Tracker.(thanks Tracker. good stone makes it so much easier)  The stuff looks like liquid fire but the pic doesn't capture it at all. Aside from a random fish hook, I'm pretty sure these are the first points of mine I've posted.

WooHoo!! and I'm on the board (so to speak).  or better maybe... I think my point is clear (even used a tripod)
I should probably save some of these, I'll stop.

Looks like it'll work to me Dakota. I actually was thinking the same point mostly cause I don't have any pretty picture books to look at and always kinda like that style.

Mike, thanks for stepping up to the plate and funny I was thinking Snyders also. All three of those look like exceptional Snyders to me and I can't believe how much your knapping has improved, Excellent and Thanks for getting this month started. :KN  Bob

Looking good...works for me. Now I need to find a good piece of rhyolite. Hmmm, this could take a while. :KN

If you really want to challenge yourself Bob, we could award extra points for using locally available material. That might make our best options beach glass and toilet bowl however. I may see what I can bang out later this evening.
