aint pretty

heres some ugly, unheated, antler beaten, texas concrete points. my knapping tines and billets are officially spent. they are lined up in order of ease of making. the one on the right reminded me very much of our local basalt.

thanks. was just looking them over again. i think the reason they aint pretty to me, aside from the stacks, is that were so tough to pound out. id love to heat some of this stuff up and try it im just to lazy to heat em, so i torture myself instead.  :)

  Hey Jamie... I don`t see anything wrong with those points.  Put `em on a stick with some fletching &
send `em off to make some meat.  On the other hand, if you`re really disappointed with `em, just send
those pointy things this way, I`ll take care of `em for ya. :o
