I needed a break from cutting obsidian slabs, so I made a few points.  I've only made a half dozen or so - these are the first this year - and are made with my new Ishi stick....   :'(  Anyway, it documents where I am at, and with all of this obsidian to knap I should improve quite a lot this summer.  The white one is a chip of that Hamilton County Texas rock that Stu made a bi-face out of at the Glass Butte Knap-in.  It is raw and much harder to flake then the glass.  The rest are Glass Butte Obsidian - I am saving the real pretty stuff for when my flakes get better  :P

Hey - thanks for all the encouragement everybody!  ;D  Seeing the work you all put up is sure inspiring.  In fact I never would have attempted making points or bows if it wasn't for this forum.  I forgot to mention that the points are on a slab of Burns Green that I bought at Glass Buttes.  I also picked up the slab in this photo and a couple of points from Eric Juhola for inspiration.  The longer blade is also Burns Green, and I believe he said the smaller one was a Texas Chert of some kind.

Hey Brian - would you like to get together for knapping again some time?  I'll bring you a (bribe) nice piece of rock to work on!  Also do you know Mic Hill?  He lives in Lacey, is an excellent knapper (a wizard with bi-faces) and is talking about having some knapping get togethers with local guys if you are interested.

Time, dedication, cuts, tons of broken rock, a wife, and perhaps a few girlfriends are some of what it takes in becoming a skilled flint knapper!!!
