I aquired the Clovis blade at Flint Ridge.
It's posted in "Flint Ridge photos".
I got the flute flake in the mail today.

Nice, I have a point made by Ken Wallace from a while back where he gave me both channel flakes, always nice to have. That looks like a Mike Cook point, I think I remember seeing that on another site too, real beaut.

I believe that's a Mike Cook point in tiger chert. Very nice. I like how I can see his surface finish before the Flute.

Yes that is Mike's. He does some very intricate work.
A very pleasant fellow too.

I have watched Mike flute points. He is an artist for sure.

Was that done with a jig or striking it?

He told me he was forming the nipple when
it slipped off his thigh pad. :embarassed:
The nipple hit just right on a hammerstone
at his feet.
Or you could ask Jeb he has watched

It looks like this flute was the second one. That leaves me wondering how the setup looked for the first one. I can sometimes make fair flutes, but the appearance of the base is usually up for grabs. Can any of you give a few more details as to what his process is, and how the first flute relates to the second one?

I honestly don't know how the flutes are done.
I assume a jig of some sort.
Here is the other side. Nice flute just not as long.
I would guess it was done last.

That is a beauty for sure. When I grow up I want to learn to flute like that. Right now I would stand as good a chance nocking it off my knee as with a jig.

What I was looking for was an indication of how he set the platforms up. After seeing the other side, I have a good idea. Thanks.
