I thought I would try a little something different today, A friend gave me a pc of red carra glass at the Bald Eagle knappin so I thought today would be a good day to try a little slab knapping. Thanks for the glass Gary, and thanks for lookin and as always comments good or bad are welcome. Bob

Lookin good man. I love old opaque glass.
You need to work on punching in those notches tho. They never look right on Hardins if you nibble them in. The key is to punch your way in and then use a flake to touch up the corners which gives you the sharp notch corners the originals have.
I actually like to come in from the side instead on the base corners like most do. If you come in from the side first, it gives you chance to fix a stall if one happens as you can come up from the bottom until you knock a little of the stall off.
