I finally beat one out!
« on: May 23, 2011, 11:27:14 pm »
 Ive been trying for a couple of weeks to make a point out of our only local rock Kanawha  Black, it is some tough stuff.  But after about a hundred pounds of gravel and several blisters i fanally got one made. I'm still learning so any comments or criticisms welcome.

No wonder you had such a hard time it looks like a piece of cast iron. I thought Cowboy was the only one who used cast iron.Ron

Yea Mullet, after beating on this stuff I have a new found respect for the Native Americans that lived in our area.  You can find points made of this all over around here every thing from large Clovis points to small arrowheads.
