Title: Rhyolite Point
Post by: Woodland Roamer on July 21, 2008, 10:10:37 pm

I finally got a chance to knap a little for the first time this summer and here is a little Woodland triangle point from a flake of rhyolite. It's 1 inch wide and 1 1/2 inches long and turned out really sharp. I'm going to haft it to a piece of cane and try to stick it thru a deer this fall.

Looks good man! That'll stick a deer for sure :). Check the laws in your state concerning barbs on a hunting point, anything angled back more than ninety degrees off the side or base is considered a barb.

Thanks for that info Paul.  I'm pretty sure Oklahoma doesn't have that restriction but I'll dang sure check before I get some done up.

  Nice point ,Alan. I'd like to have a set of those. When it comes to those rules I figure, once the deer is dead the rule shouldn't count anymore. ;D
