Abo & copper
« on: July 03, 2015, 02:00:51 pm »
Sitting in the pit at the classic. I had a chance to meet many many knappers I've talked to on PA. 
The classic is something everyone should experience.   I made a few points & traded a few away. 
At the classic John(Iowabow) asked me to make an Abo point. I tried my best.   I also tried to duplicate the abo point with my copper tool.   Can y'all guess which is which?
I hope everyone enjoys, I think I'm going to try & utilize both methods.

The red one is ABO.

Don , I have been messing around with some antler and hammer stone and you sure did get alot thinner than mine, nice job on both of your points, what are you notching with? I can't seem to find anything thin enough for a notcher. :( Bob

The only time I have been using my copper bopper lately is if I have a nasty shelf. Stone and antler have been good to me lately. I need to get an antler billet.

Both are excellent, but the red one probably has more meaning to you!
