Cahokia cache
« on: July 23, 2011, 09:47:08 pm »
Had a fella order some small hunting points last week at Mojam, so I have been doing a bit every night this week, I needed 6 to finish them up so I got busy today. They all range from 63-71 grains. Most are 1 " wide and 1 1/2" long. The smaller black one at the bottom is a throw in extra.

I made the  Dovetail  after I got done with all that tedious pressure flaking....I had to do something to relieve some frustrations! ???

I think the man who ordered them will be mighty pleased with them. Very nice work.

iowabow, I started on them last Monday and would make 1 maybe 2 in the evening,(course I would break a couple also). These things are thin and need lots of support,they can be frustrating. I made 6 yesterday,so I guess I was getting it figured out?

A good way to learn to make a point type is to just make it over and over,and along the way you will learn that it has helped you to make other types. I know that doing these has really helped my edge work.

Thanks all.
