messin' around with some novaculite
« on: April 16, 2012, 05:31:35 pm »
I have a difficult time with step fractures while working novaculite so I was just randomly driving flakes for practice.  This curvy little blade sort of presented itself so I went with it.  Josh

That looks like it would go good on one of my arrow shafts.  Might make the shaft look straighter.  :o neat point, dpg

Thanks fellas.  I've decided it looks all together ridiculous as it is.  However, with a little work it could make a nice atlatl point.  Hopefully, I won't break it in the wrong spot.   Josh
