new chipping
« on: March 27, 2010, 08:06:16 pm »
 I finally got a chance to beat on some rock. These are wind down, relieve stress points in the afternoon when I got home from work. I got back from Brazil and walked into a mess at the office. But these came out pretty good.

 Thanks, Justin. Dana, sure did feel good. When I left I had about 300# of rock in the back of my truck. Everytime I saw all ya'lls points I couldn't wait to beat on some. All of these were heat treated and chipping was easy. That first one is fluted on both sides, but I blew the flute out the top. so I made it to shoot on an arrow. The neck knife cord is braided Bayonet plant fibre. The middle point is some nice Coral.

Never heard of bayonet plant. I haven't had much time for knapping, with the nice weather I've been at the land I hunt doing my share of work
so I can keep hunting there :) Its my bosses property but he's never there, 200 acres with 1000's of acres of State and Paper Mill land all around it :)
I have the run of it, for the last couple weeks the wife and I have been cutting firewood, brushing the roads and hauling trash out of the woods.

  I've got plenty of nose-less points laying around from that, Bob. I blew the brown one off fluting. Best fluting I've ever done.

 Thanks Jamie. What was sad is the first one stopped. The second one blew the end off.

Nice points Eddie. I need someone to show me how to set up the platform correctly. Hopefully I can talk someone into that at the classic. Sorry to hear you had return to problems at work, that always ruins your day.
