Darn...I knew I recognized that spalted maple handle at the Ridge! But I couldn't place where...I should have stopped and said hi Zuma.

Well you should have asked to buy the knife. lol
I met Outback Bob and Bone Pile was there.
I am sure there were more members there too.
I think I'll post a thread.
How about Mac Corkel for September?
I just finished this Flint River one.

Looks like the Montell point we have in Tx. I'm game. Heres one I did a couple weeks ago.

Most Mac Corkels are way resharpened.
I modified the one I posted earlier and added a couple.
They are in the LeCroy/Stanley family.
Very very nice Montel Tower

When I looked at the first photo I was wondering if there were shadows.
The second pic sure answered my question!
That's a purdy one. Hope you have time for more.

them Mac Corkels are real close to a montell. Them look good guys, i'm still out here in flint country and still don't have my tools. What's that first material knapper? kinda looks like mook?

Knapper · « **Reply #877 on:** September 10, 2014, 10:41:22 am »

Cowboy, The first is a piece that came in a group of flint ridge. And if your in flint country pick up a box for me

Well, I guess that is mook. The guy who sent me the box of flint ridge said it was mookaite. So there! Shows what I know. but it is pretty.

When I was at Flint Ridge a fellow came by wanting to sell some
authentic artifacts. I gave him my best advice and he rewarded
me with this beauty. It's not a McCorkel or a Pedrenales.
It's a LeCroy. Notice the bifurcations are more vertical, where they
are more rounded on the McCorkel. The bases are heavily ground.
This LeCroy has been resharpened to a needle tip. On the shaft.
Mc Corkel and LeCroy date back to the early Archaic.

What about a drill or perforator ?

Zuma · « **Reply #883 on:** October 01, 2014, 11:04:53 pm »

I could defiantly go for that as I am pretty deep into drilling as of late.
A good drill is not as easy as some may think.
Man I would like to get some from you guys to try out too.

PS Some of the youngsters at Lake Wheeler NC (Raliegh) got to try my
bannerstone hand drill. I'll post it if you all agree.

Zuma · « **Reply #884 on:** October 03, 2014, 07:09:47 pm »

Ok Let's begin!

I guess it is DRILLS. Well that is if you all agree.
lol
