Flute Flake
« on: September 22, 2015, 07:42:45 pm »
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 >:D

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.
