Some abo Gunthers...
« on: June 02, 2011, 06:15:25 pm »
Hey guys,

Been a while since I've been on here, just been super busy with stuff at home.  But I wanted to post this pic of some Gunther points I made, all abo.  No copper flakers or horseshoe nail notchers were used on these points.  Just hammerstones and antler pressure flakers.  There's a ruler on the left side of the photo to give you an idea of their size because I tend to zoom in on the points and they seem larger than they really are.  Keep in mind that since I'm the bird point king, well...they're pretty small! Hope everyone is doing well!

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!!

The stone those are made from is heat treated coastal plains chert from here in GA.  And yeah, maybe on the next one I'll show a series of photos from start to finish so you know the size of the flake I start with.
