BREAKIN GLASS...
« on: February 27, 2008, 04:19:28 pm »
I found a couple of old pieces of glass while hiking the other day and been knappin a little.. I am not any good at it but thanks to Wolf Watcher I am getting a little better ....anyway thought I would post these pics of the points I knapped last night...the glass was about half an inch thick and hard as flint when I started.. I think the purple one was an old bottle bottom..... Mike A/ho

Thanks guys ... I know what you are saying about the clear glass buggin out your eyes :o when i get sick of it ,I do a few obsidian points then go back to the clear stuff... kind of addicting... I am working a nice piece of heat treated rock Wolf Watcher gave me last year.. should make some good points.... i will post those pics when I get something finished... I would love to see some pics of some of you guys points, knives etc... Mike a/ho

 Good looking points .Glass is really good for hunting points and practicing pressure flaking. Your chipping looks real good.

Mike: What do you mean you aint real good at it? Those look fine to me, especially if you thinned it down from a half inch and wound up with a cross section like that. I've done some glass and obs but keep going back to my chert - just like all the diff colors and toughness for arrowheads.
