Title: Sunday - First Ishi
Post by: Bevan R. on May 20, 2012, 08:06:30 pm

Spent some time in the pit while glue was drying. Here are the results. Rather proud of the 2 in the upper left corner. They ain't from slabs, they are potato chip flake points. Heck, I even beat on the Keokuk with a bopper. Also the first success at an Ishi point. out of tinted glass. Lower right corner. The 'gut hook' on the little blade in the left corner was not intentional. But after it happened, I went with it a little.

Looks like you had a real sit down in the pit! Really like the Ishi point.

Very nice, Bevan! I find it extremely hard to make em long and narrow without breaking the tip several times-- rendering them short and stubby. You are certainly doing something very right. Cant beat that glass for teaching you a light touch!

Thanks guys. It was a fun day.
Scott, I think the arthritis keeps me from gripping overly hard, not skill.
