Tiles from the jobsite
« on: June 02, 2014, 07:35:11 am »
I hustled some tiles from the tileman off the jobsite.
They knapped nicely, and made a few points from it.

Thanks for the look guys,
9er

Nice lookin Bub, Bub.
Did you use indirect? I have never seen tile that is black/charcoal in the center.
I hope you can get some bigger tiles too.

Good work. Tile is often overlooked as a good material to knap. The type you have there is great and you made some nice points with it.

NIce job with benefits. I guess any tile will do or is there specific ones that are recommended. For that size tile nice looking points.

Nice to find stuff that hasn't been tumbled in the gravel, eh!
I think you scored every stem type made. lol
Looks a lot like Bogue material?
