Sitting down
« on: September 15, 2023, 01:30:33 pm »
Bee a rough year around here but think I’m settling back down.  Put a beach umbrella out on the side yard for some shade and feels good to do some knapping again.

Made an Osage bow for a buddy up in Ohio and some bamboo arrows.  He is a hunter and a fine shot, so sending some points to him.

Little cleanup on that one. That umbrella is key!

Beautiful points as always Parnell! I feel like I can tell which points are yours just by the style!

Ha!  Yeah, I was thinking that today myself!  Need to work on some diversity, I think.

Thanks DH.  Hope you’ve been well.

Some clean up work on one of them.

Great looking points, Steve. Yea, you have your own style point, now.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Nice points Steve. I really like the one in the center. Looks like a killer to me.

Thanks for sharing them. It’s good to see some posts here again. I’m pretty busy farming yet, but hopefully in another couple months I can get back at it.

MM- That was a kinda curved flake of Flint Ridge from Roy Miller.  Just the small hand flaker gently.
I was thinking about something that really helped me with delicate flaking.  Try a fishhook!

Heya Ben!  We are getting some very much needed rain.  Last summer was the least rain I’ve seen here in 21 years!

Still planning on getting some of that flint ridge Parnell. I’m going down there in spring. When I do I’ll probably reach out to Roy Miller and see if he’s still selling some rock. I’ve watched some of his videos quarrying rock on his quarry. Also some of his knapping videos. That stuff is pretty.

Sweet point Steve. That one looks really pretty and really nasty at the same time.

Thanks Brian, yeah that material reminds me of summer sunset down here.

Got a little 44 grain Georgetown bird point this afternoon.  The weather is immaculate today.
