Title: I'm on a roll....
Post by: billy on November 07, 2009, 09:50:02 pm: My slow pace and much better than normal quality continues. Here's one I finished this afternoon, made of Keokuk chert. Can you believe this point was made from a waste flake?? The knapper was too busy trying to make a giant blade, and he threw this piece away. Not wanting to see anything go to waste, I gladly picked it up and had it for many months before finally making it into a point. It's about 2 inches long, and about 7/8 of an inch wide. Enjoy.
