A couple of pointy rocks
« on: December 09, 2017, 03:55:45 pm »
It was still rainy and cold in southwest Georgia this morning so I decided to wait until tomorrow morning to hunt, so in the mean time decided to make more bullets. (W (SH) (=)

the reddish color on the tip of the white point was cool looking when i knocked off a large flake, so i thought let me see if I can keep some color with this one. I think that it will be in a display case for now. the brownish point has 2 dark thin bands completely around the tip that I managed to maintain. I think it is fun trying to keep the colors intact and very interesting looking when you can actually do it. thanks for the comments I still have a lot to learn but enjoy the experience and the therapy that goes with making points. One day I may try a knife blade or a very long point but for now I am just trying to get them made and trying to get parallel flake patterns down. Things sure slow down when everyone hits the woods with their sticks and strings.
