3 chert, 3 obsidian
« on: April 13, 2015, 09:52:29 pm »
These 6 were made to order for a fellow hunter. Good thing he was patient with me, cause I liked to never got em made!  The first 3 came pretty quick, but then I started breaking about every time I'd sit down.




After that I just had to settle down and come back to it every couple days until the feel came back. Eventually, I pulled it together and got em done.

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

Those look perfect! Only reason I wanna get good at knappin is to make my own points like those.
May my presence go unnoticed, may my shot be true, may the blood trail be short. Amen.

Gorgeous points...way to persevere!  If I got even that close to making a point before it broke it would be an accomplishment.

Well, we'll well, that's one good looking six pack.  Your consistency really shows your skill level.
