Did a little Calf creekin today.
« on: August 20, 2008, 07:27:30 pm »
Been a long two day rain out at work so have been busy stripping bark/sapwood off my osage trying to claim it back from the borers - they put up a pretty good fight :). Only got four logs to go then I can start looking for more trees to cut down - Not! Think I'm good for awhile.
 Anyway, got tired of that and had a sit down with a piece of rock. Turned into an Andice/ Calf creek point. Was going extremely well until one of the shoulders fell off - bet ya can't find the glue line 8) ;D.

Looks like you need some help managing that wood pile.  It might interfere with your knapping and cause you to break a point.  ;) Great looking point. Justin

I could have used a lot of help managing that pile of wood in the last coupla days - I'm good now ;D.
 Steve: I used my hand flaker with the copper hammered flat pretty much all the way in till my copper got too short, about three secondary percussion flakes in the shoulder gave up on me. I'm gonna make some more ;).

Sure-that stuff makes some purty knife handles and stuff. I need to try more punch notching, haven't done enough to get the hang of it. A lot of what I've read said that the Indians apparantly did a lot of punching the notches in on their points.

I haven't done enough to get the hang of it either, this is my second attempt - the first worked out a lot better but I was doing a lot of knapping then, am working with wood more than knapping here lately.
 OK, I still have your address - consider it done :)..

Great lookin point Paul. I still have one rock left of that you sent me. I'm building the courage to try it. Maybe someday I'll figure out how to get a slab knocked off one big enough to do something with.
  Next year I plan to spend a lot more time around the "knapping pit" down at Pappys. Maybe I'll learn something ???
 Until then, my number 1 arrow is wearing one of yours.
  BTW, is it here???

Paul:  A wise knapper once told me:  "You're not supposed to tell about the glue". 

Who was it:  You   ;D

Nice point no matter what. 

Stay dry.  We've had about 8 inches of rain in the last two weeks.  Most in the last few days.  Quit sending it our way.
