Title: mid-July in the gratz pit
Post by: bowtarist on July 15, 2012, 11:33:30 pm

ok, here is what I've got from the past two weeks.  One nice spall off a real nice nodg. Two, some of my lesser flake points, one on left is NC ryolite from J. Parker @ the classic, the one on the right, TX flint, I kinda like.  Three, the point on the right close up. Four, my dalton for p.o.m., a hornstone point that's real sharp and pointy and an obs I was working on for the p.o.m.  Five&Six, a TX flint point I finished today.  It's thin an sharp, my buddy rubbed it against his calf this afternoon and drew blood.  :o that made me smile.  >:D ;D as always, thanks for lookin and any replys, dpgratz

Man Derik, your points keep getting better each post. Are you saving that hornstone spall for anything?

Thnaks Scott! 

Don, I'm pretty sure I got that TX rock from you way back last fall.  Probably three of those points came from the stash I got from you.
