Title: Agate point
Post by: Tower on December 26, 2012, 06:58:08 pm
Its been a coons age since I've posted any points. I figured I'd get one more in before the end of the year. I was told this was a piece of Montana agate. Not sure about its origin, but I think it made a pretty point. The tip & the notches are a little off, but it came out alright. I hope y'all enjoy it.  Tower

You're as bad as Cowboy saying he's rusty >:D  That is a real dandy! Did you have to heat it first?


BTW, I use the term "coons age" with some of my students and they give me the puzzled look.

Thank everyone for the kind words. I'm glad y'all like it. I was suprised at how well it knapped after it was heated.
