2nd novaculite point-a little better than my 1st(I think)
« on: March 15, 2010, 10:25:48 pm »
What do you think?  It still has a fat stack on one side. Is there anything you can do to get rid of that once you get this far?  It weighs 184 grains.  Unfortunately, the best side is the pic that turned out blurry.  Thanks for any advice.

You can get rid of that stack but will most likely end up with a much smaller point. Just put that one aside for now and keep on chippin :)..

Just leave it and go to another one.

I find alot of original points that have stacks,hinges,bobbles,terrible edge work,etc on them. Man hasn't really changed that much in several years. ;)

I asked a great knapper once about this, he told me ," Don't put them there in the first place", I said...."Yea right, easy for you to say" ???

Thanks guys!  Yeah, I guess I'll just leave it and go to the next one.

Wayne- are you talking about Shannon fixing it(which I'm sure he could), or putting it in the case?(I don't think it's worthy)

Timo- I'm with you...easy for him to say!
