Midnight Knapping
« on: January 24, 2012, 05:21:21 am »
The first two pics are of my first corner notch EVER!!  I broke a tiny bit of the ear off of one side but I can live with that.  It started step fracturing in two spots but I was still able to get it fairly thin.  The next is from a small flake of Horse Creek Chert, I wasnt going for anything in particular with this one.  I just wanted to see what I could get.  The last one is a piece of Dacite I did the other night.  Thanks for lookin.
