Flint Ridge
« on: October 21, 2013, 05:03:02 pm »
This is for any knappers that never have got to try a pc of the beautiful flint ridge materials, I made this Adena blade today, Flint ridge material can be full of surprizes , layers an crystal pockets than can be hard to get flakes to travel but the colors make it all worth it, Can,t decide if I want to make this into a dovetail or maybe a kirk , any suggestions or should I just leave it a cache adena blade. Thanks for looking, I tried real hard to save the tip color on this point because the stripes remind me of pillow ticking patch for my flintlock gun. Later Bob

Very pretty piece, Bob, I vote for a Dove tail. That rock is as pretty as some of our coral and just as aggravating but worth it when you get a good one.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

When you come upon a track or trail you do not know, follow it to the point of knowing.
