I started on this one yesterday and finally got it finished up this evening. I've had this rock for a loong time just waiting for the right moment to tackle it. It was an expensive piece of Carter Cave flint from north east Ky. The lady I made it for wanted fine serrations and ribbon flaking....right up my alley! ;D

Soooo...You liked it?
I wouldn't call it my best ever, but I think it's in the top 5 pine trees I've made...And I've made a bunch!
Russ, Carter cave is some wild stuff. It's like Ky's version of Horse creek or Ohios version of Flint ridge. It comes in many different colors and textures, has quartz viens running through it, can be translucent to opaque. Just wild stuff!

man. If yall didn't know he can cook a mean Turkey also,ALMOST as good as his Pinetrees. ;) ;D ;D

AWESOME stone my brother and I like the spacing ...flake scars are perfect and it does go to show u take ur time on each piece... give me a chance and I will have to knapp a few out maybe some points I keep studying and something different.

Awesome is right!

Is that the flake the young 12 year old lady wanted a point from? That's some awesome flaking and convexity there dude!
-
just flat out amazing... beautiful piece of stone
-
Thanks you all.
No Paul, that flake that I woulda swore was hornstone tirned out to be Dover! Amazing how much time will change a rock. It had a super smooth glossy appearance on the outside, but was just plain old dry dover on the inside.
Josh, you gonna be at the club this weekend?
