Title: couple new points from some tough stone
Post by: iowabow on May 10, 2012, 11:45:14 pm
Both stones are burlington with a lot of grain.  The second point I am real happy with because the large ishi stick flakes are edge to edge.   I even matched the flakes below the notches so that was cool.

   Nice point John. It appears you knapp as well as you cave paint. Brother it was good to meet you at the classic this year. Ooga booga

It is real hard to tell on the second (because of the light)  one cowboy but I was able to edge to edge the whole preform before the small serrations on the side. This is the first time for me to get it without mistakes. I have been waiting for this day so now I think I am going to start dipping into the candy high quallity stuff starting this week.

Great serrations. Love the length of both , now they need a little piggy blood on em. Nice work, I'm always a fan.
