I made a Benton
« on: May 17, 2012, 07:49:24 pm »
I was given a nice big piece of Dover/TN Black at the classic by a nice fella who had found quite a bit of the stuff. I knocked the biface out pretty quick in the pit but was undecided what to finish it as... Well last weekend after talkin to John Thomas I decided to make a benton with it. I think it turned out ok so I thought Id share a pic or 2.  :)  Here ya go! Thanks fer lookin  :o

Nice one, Will. I love those flake scars. Bob, I'm still kicking my butt for not getting some of that Dover from Jesse.

Awesome Will.  Could you imagine having to hunt w/ something like that?  Looks like it'd do the trick.  dp
