First Batch of Points
« on: May 31, 2012, 12:22:58 pm »
Hi guys,

After a year's worth of broken bifaces, sliced fingertips and tons of rock...I think I may be getting a handle on flintknapping!





A pair of crude glass triangle points. Left: Glass bottle botton  Right: Glass from TV screen





Here's some of my recent pieces. I used flint from central Texas, Rainbow Obsidian, porcelain and glass.


As always I welcome the advice of the Teachers and I hope to further my knowledge of this ancient skill.

Thanks for dropping by and please leave a comment.
