Last weeks points
« on: March 22, 2009, 05:19:44 pm »
Here are a couple new projects I worked on last week. The first is a blade made of Dacite. It is 6 inches long. The second it is a point made of Obsidian and it is 4.5 inches long. I would appreciate any and all feedback, good or bad. I am trying to improve my skills and need advice to help improve. You always have room for improvemnt. THanks and Hope you enjoy, John

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.

uh....I don't think you need help with any of your knapping at all dude.....looks great.  Nice clean flake scars, symmetrical shapes, and excellent craftsmanship.  One thing you could try though......quit posting pics of such nice points.....they make mine look like they were bashed out by a drunken orangutan while he was driving an F-150 and trying to run from the cops!
