« on: September 06, 2008, 06:58:29 pm »
Hey all. here's a few pics of what i've been workin on lately. I got some obsidian in yesterday. got a point finished from it. one is beer bottle glass and the other is the alabama flint point i made from a broken spear point my friend found. BTw thanks to all who helped me with my percussion flaking problems. i'm thinnin em perfectly now (well.......almost...) this first one is the alabama flint. the second is my huntin arrows.

Those look like some great meat getters you have there.  I am still working on my thinning, but they are getting there.

Those look good. I like the flint, reminds me of hornstone. Is that a Rolling Rock head in the green?
