just another one
« on: February 15, 2012, 11:07:24 pm »
I have been working this week on improving my thinning.  I have a couple points from tower and work toward that type of process.  Anyway I am hitting inward a lot more than before and getting some interesting results.  I like the larger flat flake that are coming off.  The notching went well with the pressure flaker.  Almost got it deep notched but I chickened out.  Well at least I have a good hunting point at 160grains.

That looks great John.  Did that flake that extends from the left notch come while notching, or in your thinning before?    Super point!

Ya I have been working on a couple of styles lately put have not posted any yet.  The fluting project is coming along but is not good yet.  I have been watching a lot of videos of other knapping styles.

No G that flake came from the thinning I was doing before I started flaking.  I had 5 thinning flakes that removed nicely.  This was all done with the large copper bopper and an antler.  I have been mixing in the antler so I can learn ABO at the same time.

Chickened out? I don't see any chickens. That's a fine point with great notches.  You are really progressing with your skills. Faster than I did. Knap-On!

Very nice point and I'd say 160 grains is near perfect.  '  Frank
