Little Keokuk Point
« on: October 30, 2013, 11:54:16 am »
I am not sure what to call this. I don't normally make small points. This is a whatchamacallit point made from Keokuk. I usually break stuff much larger than this while pressure flaking, but I think I may have just learned something on how to pressure flake better. My main regret is that I wish I could have got the notches a little deeper but I definitely would have broke it if I had tried that!

Ben,
When I make stuff like that I have found it very important to have the point and wings off the pad. I have a small rubber pad about the diameter of a nickel that I use to pressure flake stuff like that. Nice point.

I never thought about using a very small pad. For this one, I laid some folded soft leather on top of my normal pad and worked with it extending over the edge. I'll have to try that small pad concept. Thanks!

Thank you for all the nice words folks. I really appreciate it.

I'm off to Florida next week to Tampa to attend the Southeast Archeological Conference and visit the de Soto National Memorial, Crystal River Archeological State Park and Mission San Louise in Tallahassee. Should be a fun mix of work & play. No knapping though :( Maybe I can find someone selling coral?
