Couple of new ones
« on: October 11, 2010, 04:35:27 pm »
 I took off early from work today and the weather is nice for a change, so I went to the gravel pit and banged these two out. I tried every angle but could not get that knot out of the center of the little Bull Tongue Simpson, so rather than break it, I left it.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Thanks, Pappy, Ron and Bob. Roger this weather does make it nicer, now I just wish the mosquitos would take a break. It's getting cooler this weekend, too.

Nice ones Eddie, when you get back, I want to get together with you and do some knappin.  Ever get around to messin with that boo, or carrot wood?  I gotta get the peice I have for El D, packed up and sent out.  It is about as light as it is going to get now.   ;)

 The rock is Coastal Plains and Flint from Kentucky.

Wayne I haven't had time and it's been too hot to play with wood. I might be home this weekend, don't know yet.

Would that Simpson be a spearpoint?  Like that.

 Thanks Jesse.
Steve, yes, they were mostly mounted on foreshafts, my guess. Most of them were around 3 to 4" long.
