Latest Knapping and Rock ID (Picture Loaded)
« on: September 30, 2011, 09:30:48 pm »
Any one got any idea as to what type of rock this is? Its grainy but will flake, just takes a lot of power to strike off the flakes with a hammer stone or moose antler billet. It doesn't flake to great with pressure flaking, too hard and grainy.

Was able to make that hand axe using hammer stone and moose antler biller and that little arrowhead pressure flaked with copper.

Those two knife blades are both unmodified flakes struck using a hammer stone, the one is from that rock and the other is from a piece of basalt.

All of the clear/smoky glass is 1/4 inch thick bronze glass, all pressure flaked with copper. How do you guys think that diamond shaped point would work for hunting? It's a inch and 3/8's wide and a inch and 11/16's long, because its short and wide I think it may not penetrate as well as a long, tapered triangle point would, but since its so wide it would leave a good blood trail.

The three blue points are from a scrap stained glass pot melt, it wasn't that great though, wasn't blended enough, they where all made using a moose and deer antler billet.
Thanks for looking.

Love the glass points! They look pretty good, kinda narrow for big game. They would be great for rabbits,& such. As for the stone. I'm not sure what it is , but the fact that you made something out of it with out a jackhammer is amazing. Nice work! Knap-on!

Nice points, I have some of that first rock here locally and you couldn't make me Knapp it on purpose  :o  Nasty stuff, so congrats on controlling any shape with your efforts.
