I'll try to turn one out. So far I have been making arrowheads with general shapes of "authentic" ones and have not made many efforts at replicating the flake patterns. This time I'll try to make the same flake pattern as seen on a point illustrated in Story in Stone by DC Waldorf. We will see whether I get it right.

Thanks Zuma, it is translucent, pressure flakes real good and goes from a pink to a blue/green. Rick B

Looks great! How does that material pressure flake?

Well it took me several tries to get a thin base.
I think I lopped two. No biggie but it will be all
I can do this month.

Took today and went out in the woods, debated between breaking some rock or hunting some squirrels, decided to try and make a hardin. This was my first true attempt at making one, and one of the few times I sat down with a particular rock and knew what I wanted before I even hit it.

you are approaching Woody Blackwell levels of skill. My hats off to you Ghost knapper, whoever you are.

I hope you write my address correctly Rog
Thanks, Zuma

nice! Like the lines, handle is a good match for the blade.
Ive got two blades done but waiting for some banded slat to arrive in the mail to use for handles.
