Allibates buffalo hunter
« on: June 14, 2019, 11:38:42 pm »
This started out as a six inch slab. Large cracks on both ends caused me to work it down to about 3-1/4" before the first flute took a half inch off the tip. The second flute terminated perfectly to a paper thin point so I am really happy about that.

Awesome 1442. Can you show pictures looking down base towards point? I'm thinking those have to be so thin. :)

Beautiful point
Would you happen to have a close up pic of the nipple before it’s fluted?

1442, You certainly have fluting down pretty good with beautiful work! Thank you also for the jig illustration!

Have you ever tried fluting using axial compression ?
I’ve seen it done a Wolfe was times & have experimented with it a lil.  I want to try it more.  I just don’t like snapping points in half.
