Title: Chris Cades points
Post by: mullet on November 06, 2008, 05:57:12 pm

 Went over to my buddy Claude Van Order's house this morning to pick up some points that Chris Cade had asked him to make. Chris hasn't seen them yet, so I'll let everybody have a peek. They are all 1" x2" long and average around 130 grn. They are mostly  Coral with one ryolite and a couple of chert.

Those are pretty. Since Chris hasn't seen them maybe I could trade you for some of the trash I make.  8) OK maybe you should let Chris have them.  I wouldn't know what to do with points that pretty and colorful anyway.  Justin

 Ryan, Pasco County is where the good stuff is. You just have to hit those new construction sites and it's not easy digging in that clay. I'd rather dive in 10' of water and get it, but it's not that top shelf grade.

Those are some nice points! My favorite style too!

Jeff, Good meeting you and thanks again for the coral.
I haven't used any of it yet but I will try to make some points like those Eddie posted!
I'll see if I can get close to the quality of Claudes!
