Hardaway, that's bloodstone (india jasper)
Warhawk, I just use a sharp copper tipped pressure flaker to serrate and then a horse shoe nail flaker to touch them up.

Post by: arappaho on September 30, 2010, 11:33:04 am: Actually Shannon, I am really glad to see some one make something out of that jasper.
And I can't imagine anyone doing anything any better with it! ;)
That thing is absolutely beautiful!
I've got some of that rock so let me know if you need or want any more of it.

Post by: StevenT on October 04, 2010, 06:34:00 pm: Shannon, the notch on that piece of brown rock is insane! I cannot imagin how you managed to notch that far into the stone without a shock wave knocking that long arm off. Amazing stuff! Oh yea, nice pine tree.

I am sleeping good at night knowing Mason has got the best two teachers in the world right here in TN ! We are trying to hunt right now and are out of rock to boot. Looking forward to getting up with ya'll again one of these days. I have 4 bifaces I was able to knock out good and thin. I am saving them for later when I learn more and also learn to pressure flake AFTER I have my biface reduction technique down. If I tried to thin them more now I would probably just break them. You and Jesse have got that punch notching down to an art form bud ! Love those perfectly even flake scars that line up directly across from each other. You are a machine bud !
