Xin...whoa buddy,:) Just wait till these other guys start posting what they make....real eye candy. Like that point by Pete,very nice Pete! Looks like some very  slick stuff. Love the looks of that glass  also, but I start bleeding every time I look at the stuff! :)

Hillbilly, That type of rock has that effect.Every point I make from it looks old.Kinda brittle though, takes good platforms.

I'll try another when I get some more time.Got welding to do tonight,and this and that....Well you know? :)

Well here's my first attempt,The material is some costal plains out of that landfill in Alabama.A fellow knapper from that area was real kind to me at the Sopchoppy knapp-in and gave me a few pieces.


I have some coral in the furnace I'll give this type another try next week.
so lets see yours I showed you mine!

Great start! I renotched my flint one and put up a new photo.

Paul, that crude thing I made is from a scrap of F.R. I got in a bargain bucket from TwoBear at Flint Ridge. The clear stuff, was period amethyst mason jar, 1858.

Keep 'em coming!

Pete that looks great! Have you noticed that getting the serrations  right,isn't as easy and one might think? Were the serrations on these type points run on both sides,or just one side? Kinda like a beveled point?

I made another one tonight before church.

Second attempt:Raw Texas.The pic is of both sides. Still haveing trouble getting both sides the way I want them.... Learning lots though.

Killer!

I think the Kirks did get beveled over time. I actually have a copy of Joffre Coe's study here. My mother copied and bound it for me in the 1980's. He named the type.

Cool point!

Great looking work, fellers. Pete, I got me an original first edition of Coe's study that I got from Hardawaypoints-great stuff, I look through it at least once a week. Now I don't keep the local library's copy perpetually checked out. :)
