Small TX Tab.
« on: June 21, 2011, 07:29:39 pm »
Here's a little piece of Pedernales flint from the Llano river. It was about 1/2 in. thick at the start. Knapped pretty good at the start so I finished it raw. It only weighs 62 grains. Gonna have to put a little shot in the shaft to get it to 125.

Man, that first pic almost looks like tile but i know it ain't. I've worked some small TX stuff that looked just like that. Another perfect point for sure..

Time, dedication, cuts, tons of broken rock, a wife, and perhaps a few girlfriends are some of what it takes in becoming a skilled flint knapper!!!

Nice point from a small piece of rock

A nice hunting point. Looks like you chip in your pick-up too. :)
