trade points
« on: June 27, 2009, 02:21:24 pm »
here are few points that i have made in the last couple of weeks
they are going in a trade with another member on the forum here.
it takes me about 1.5 hours to make each one,not counting the 3 or 4 that i brake in between each succesfull point.
it seems that i always break them when they are nearly finished.
but the ones that come out finished,i think,are pretty nice.especially considering the limitied amount of time i have been this and am self taught.
any how hers a pic or two,enjoy and thanks for looking ;D

Tim you are coming along rather well. No worries on breaking points,the only way to learn it is to break rocks.It's gonna happen. You will find over time that you will break less and less, and soon will be able to make an arrow point in 30 mins.

What is ahd black point in the first pic? Remind me of the clear winter night sky.

thanks everyone ;D

Timo: in that first pic,the darker point is acutally a dark blue.its made from some stuff the guy at the rock shop called
         "GOLD STONE".  he has it in blue and orange.it has flecks of gold in it.it looked like glass so i figured i would give it a try.
           its harder than obsidion,but also fragile.i really like working it though and the point look cool as all get when finished.
           i just wish he had more and larger pieces of it.
Dana: i wouldnt say that i am getting the hang of it fast,i have been spending atleast two hours every night(sometimes more) since about mid january
         and all i have too show for it is 4 knife blades, and about 25 points.but i do have about 50lbs of flakes laying in the sand box ;D ;)

i was back at the rock shop yesterday and picked up some more picutre jasper,one is african queen pic jasper and i forget what the other was called.
i also got a piece of petrified wood.its a dark pinkish color.i figure i will give at whack and see if i can knapp it.

alright,well hers the first one of the day.
this is rom the picture jasper that i picked up yesterday.i dont remember what kind of pic jasper it was.
it seems to wok pretty decent,a little grainy in the blueish areas,has some small pockets of some kind of mineral i would guess.
its a yellowish pwder type sunstance and the rock right around it is kinda chalky.
but it makes for decent looking wall hanger point



enjoy and thanks for looking
oh yeah,please i hope the reciver doenst think thee are perfect as they do have some hinges etc.,but i did say i was a newbie ;D

                                                                    peace,
                                                                          tim

That is some pretty rock Tim - kinda swirls around like that horsecreek that Leapingbare works with. I worked a piece of that goldstone years ago and still have a slab somewhere. I read up on it, can't remember the details but somebody was trying to make gold seems like over in China or somethin. They failed at the gold but make all different colors of goldstone, purty stuff.
