First tip from start to finish
« on: November 02, 2013, 11:14:30 am »
Yesterday I took my first rough stone down to a pre-form and then to this point.  I lost a little off the back end when I misplaced a bop!  I had to see it through so I made it really pointy.

Question:  Are there any knappers up around Gainesville Virginia?

Crap! must have left my glasses in the house when I boxed up that rock. :D That is a fine, looking point. Tell Elijah to bend over and kick him in the butt with your Crocs for getting you started on this addiction.

My kind of art! 
Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.

Update:

Phil tried to kick me and is now being flown to Germany there still trying to remove the smoke grenade from his a$$.

Keep him in your prayers.

Pointy is good. Nice job!
When you come upon a track or trail you do not know, follow it to the point of knowing.
