Tried a Martindale
«

I've been looking through some Texas points on various web pages and decided to try and replicate a Martindale. I've discovered that the only thing more maddening than doing notching is trying to do a new style of notching. My first attempt was a failure when I snapped off the corners and the bases. I was left with a decent hunting point (on the right in the pictures). The second try is closer, but by the time I got the notches done I'd turned a decent sized point into a bird point. It was fun anyway.

I thing the point on the right is really cool. I have a pile of 60 grain points, I like them all for different reasons.

Thanks Paul. I almost called you after lunch yesterday, but my cold was still annoying enough I didn't think it neighborly to try and visit.

I tried again tonight to duplicate the Martindale. It's closer, but I lost the symmetry a little. At least this one is full sized.
This spall had about a quarter inch of coretex on it and some was so soft I could literally scrape it off abraiding. I broke the tip off or it would have been longer.

That's a good Martindale base. Your really progressing in your skills. Don't sweat the cortex I've found points with a little on them. Knap-On!
