Daltons
« on: March 14, 2010, 01:20:23 am »
well i have been on a Dalton kick as of late
havent had alot of time for knapping,but when i did find time these are what i have been making
 the first two are a couple of dalton hemphill's
the other is a dalton sloan
the hephills are coral and im not sure what the other is
the sloan is from a slab of peacock obsidion,the pic does not do the colors justice
you really have to see it to appreciate the colors of the peacock ;D ;)
heres some pics





thanks for peeking

                                                                               peace,

  Very nice, Tim. It's hard to take a picture of that Peacock and get the colors in it.

thanks for the nice words guys ;D

jamie,that middle one is not fluted.it looks like it is only because the small spall had a flat spot on it and i decided
to use that end as the base and tried to thin it down enough to match that spot.but didnt work quit as planned.
but i am happy with it.that was some pretty tough material too

You do amazing work Tim.
Everything happens for a reason, sometimes the reason is you made a bad decision.
