No 2 from trackers obsidian
« on: April 29, 2016, 09:09:12 pm »
I finally found the time to complete the 2nd Indian bullet just before it got dark. It is very thin and colorful, I still have to micro flake the edge to completely sharpen it but I can finish that tomorrow. I need to start working on the cool flake patterns I see a lot of you apply to your points and blades but I like what I am doing so far.

Nice! Your popping out good ones. Just for hunting there's no need to worry about flake patterns. That's for fancy rich folk. hahaha

Getting a little bit quicker, only took about 20 minutes on this one. Made out of the thickest ugliest twisted piece of obsidian in the box. I thought I would not be able to thin it down without loosing to much width or breaking it but I was able to pull the point out of the rock, or knock off everything except the point.

Thank you all for the encouraging comments, at the present time I have been to busy with work and family which has left no time to knap or nap! More to come when I get a few minutes to myself.
