Title: My Best Point Yet
Post by: PrimitiveTim on November 15, 2015, 11:11:19 pm
This past week I put a lot of effort into making my best point.  The primary purpose of flintknapping for me is to make a hunting point that is sharp, a good size, and mounts easily.  I think I got one this week.  It's the sharpest point I've made yet and it's thin and was pretty much exactly what I was going for.  The color in this point was just a bonus to me.

That looks good enough to go to black hills and hunt turkeys with us again. Lol I know the cold is hard for a Florida boy to handle. That is a real nice arrowhead with great color. I am not sure about launching that point it's kinda too nice.

Too late, already mounted to an arrow and she's ready to kill  >:D  I I've got a bucket of rainbow and that was actually one of the uglier pieces.  I'll make some stunners than I can keep but this point wants to kill, it already got a taste of my blood and it's thirsty for more.
