proud of this one
« on: October 20, 2010, 10:25:41 pm »
well i havent been posting much,nor have i realy been doing much primitive
been busy chasing turkeys for the most part.
but i have hit a few rocks as of late
made a couple of decent obsidion points for arrapaho(mail them this week yet ;) )
today while the rotor router guy was over doing our annual maintenance cleaning
i was in the basement beating on some novaculite
i made this nice little point with a small moose bittlet for percussion and a whitetail tine for the pressure work
i gotta say i am realy proud of this one,its my best abo point as of yet(only on #5 here)
theres one spot thats a little thick on one side,got a couple little steps right there
i know i could "pop" them off if i took a diamond file and my ishi stick to them
but i REFUSE to do it,this is truly all abo
i might take a flint flake and try and ruff it up and a sharpen a tine real god and see if i can "pop" it that way
but,i am happy with it as is

i realy like using the antler on this material and obsidions
i had a hard time with this material when i first got it,i was using copper with it then
then i got some moose billets and tried that on the softer materials and WOW what a i differance that made
i thought i was gonna just waste all this novaculite,but i finally found what works for me with it and i LOVE it
any how hers a pic or two
thanks for peeking ;)

You dang sure ought to be proud of it, that's a very nice point.

All this talk about abo knapping I've been seeing lately is getting to me.  I broke down and ordered a moose billet today, and I've made myself a cow bone pressure flaker.  I figure since I don't know what I'm doing anyway I might as well.

I'll try to get some pics of mine up.  It's basically the same as the one Jim posted over on PP.  The cow bone seems to work ok, but is prone to split if you get it thin.  I'd like to get a couple of deer ulnas to try.
