Hey ya'll here's a set I have been working on over the last couple weeks. These are made to go with that last set of Gunthers I made a while back. Let me tell ya these were twice as hard for me to make as those, and I messed up more in the process than I care to admit. Working that notch way up in behind the barb was the tough part. On a couple I got almost completely done and snapped the tip of the barb off making the point unsuitable for the set. Talk about the pucker factor putting the serrations on those thin barbs !
These will go in the case RB Lusthaus posted in "around the campfire" I cant wait to show you guys bots sets of Gunthers in that baby!
Material is: Georgetown, Keokuk, Burlington and Flint Ridge.
Ya'll take care !

Striking! Would be cool if you did some posters of the photos of your points, pure art. I don't even knap yet but sure do love seeing the work you guys do. Beautiful points !!!

If you continue to raise the bar before we reach the last point how will we ever get there?!?!?!? :-[

Like Mullet said, you suck! :o Sheesh, why do you even bother to post such things as that. ??? You need to practice first >:(.
Your points are far too symmetrical, the serrations are too even, and the barbs, are too rounded. Not to mention the points all look alike. :P You really need to think about these things before you post. >:( Now package those pieces of junk up, and send them to me, and I will show them as examples of what not to do. >:( Then I will dig through my gravel pit, and show you what you should be posting. I see I will have to see if I can contact the Monastery, in Bulgaria, and see if they have room for you. Oh, don't worry, there are bunks reserved for others on here also. Just think of the fine brandy, you will learn to make, and the almond marzipan candy, and such as that. So much more relaxing, than beating on a piece of junk rock! ::) :P :P
Dang, you need to slow down, and find another way of stress relief! :o You know like defusing IED's and such. Dang, boy those are absolutely amazing!! :o :o 8) I hope to meet you some day, at Eddie's, and we can drink Eddie's beer, and eat his food, and you can try to show me how in the world you can do that! ;) You are definitely the guru of knappers, like those Texican boys, and the Poor soul who has to endure Hawaii. and others on here. Thanks for showing those. And thanks for making me feel totally inadequate! Keep your head down, and don't kick any Camel turds! ;)

Are you really the fella that I gave a down and dirty knapping demo while standing knee deep in the Alifia?I think you are an alien impostor WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH ELIJAH ?
-
That's me Rog. I learned a lot that day about knappin. I don't know about you but I can't wait to get back in that river and dig out some more rocks! We should do that again when I get home.
-
I think that style of point needs to be officially named after you.
-
Damn...That is one wicked set of points. Mad skills for certain...
-
It is one of the most perfectly matched sets of points I think I have seen, Mad skills. Those barbed points are not easy to do. Nice work!

Hey don't forget Eddie's food also! Then when he is busy looking for more beer and food, we can rummage through his Israeli his rock pile. ;) Don't know what I would do with it, but it would make a nice addition to my gravel collection. That is if he didn't get sick on my bad batch of Bar B Que sauce. It just didn't turn out so too pretty good. But he does have some good food, and the beer is free, so it tastes good also, plus if we get tired of talking to him, we can talk to to Kathy, Cathy, or however she spells it. I forget. But anyway, she can cook well also. So the food part is not a problem, just getting Eddie to part with his beer. But his refrigerator in the shop is usually stocked. ;) I would like to go wading and rock gathering with you guys sometime, before I head back to Montana, but Mr. Gadfly, is usually out of the Country, and when he is home, he is hunting, or it is too cold to be putting my little stems in the water. :o :P
But yeah, I hope you get back here in uncle barry land, and we can get together. Take care,and don't waste on of those Gunthers on one of those diaper heads, use a plain Jane style point. That should confuse the heck out of them. But uncle barry would probably find something in the Geneva convention, to complain, and apologize for. You need to stop eating that desert talcum powder, and get back here, and eat some love bugs. :P ;D
