Title: New for me
Post by: mullet on October 27, 2014, 09:27:57 pm
I can't pressure flake using my knees or hip after the hip replacement surgery so I've been working on my Percussion and Indirect percussion flaking. This Dovetail was done without any Pressure flaking. The material is Ft.Payne Will Harrison gave me a couple of years ago.

Thank's guys. I'm actually more proud of that point then any in my case. mostly because when I was hitting crappy I put it down and went back to it later. I like the primitive look.
Joe, I wish you could be there too, it would be a hoot. Hip feels good, hope I can get up and down those little hills.

Looks real nice Eddie.  I use IP for 90% of the process.

I've piddled with IP before, 'squatch but this is the first time I did all of the edge work using it.

Yep, I think you have done a fine job.   8). All I really ment to say is that I like IP.  I will have to try 100% sometime.

No pressure flaking on that one?  And you used indirect percussion?  Welcome to the dark side...  >:D
