NC Rhyolite points
« on: February 23, 2011, 10:47:32 pm »
Im going to try to post a few points I made from NC rhyolite. First time posting pictures. I am new to knapping and hope to be at it for a while. Lots to learn, this forum with you guys teaching certainly makes it a lot easier. Thanks a bunch!

Dang, looking good there Lyman.  I got a hunch I know where that rock came from, too.

I really appreciate the kind comments.

Bryan, I need some more also and am hoping to be released from the doctor on Friday. That's been one good thing to breaking a leg, gave me more time to break rock.

Nice work Lyman.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intentions of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body. But rather to slide in sideways, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming....WOW WHAT A RIDE!!

Nice work, and that's some good quality rhyolite too, looks like. That grade makes some great hunting points. I like those Hardaways.
