Rainy day knapping
« on: April 15, 2012, 01:05:36 am »
Decided to knapp in the barn where it was dry. The previous land owner had put all of there remodel debris in the hillside and partially cover it up :P. One positive to this is all of the 12 by 12 pastel colored glass tiles. I've made several hunting points from this stuff and like it. This one is bigger than anything that I typically make. Maybe throw deer ulna on the end and call it good. Thanks for looking.

That's a great looking point. How much glass tile did they leave behind?

Thanks for the comments guys! Cipriano, I can let you know when I hit clay on the other side :o
Kinda like an Easter egg hunt or like looking for rock elsewhere. The family just stacks in in my pit when they do cleanup. Derik you'll have to stop and get some,  bring a dump truck please  >:D

Thanks, Tracy
