Trying some Jewelry Points...
« on: May 04, 2012, 11:30:44 pm »
got some THIN (1/8" wafers) can't call them slabs to I thought I would try some jewelry points. Left to right, Jasper, black obsidian, triple flow, triple flow. the 2 tripple flow are less than 3/4" long.
Bowmakers are a little bent, but knappers are just plain flaky.

He'll be knapping Tic-Tacs next!

Nice work, Bevan.
Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.

No JW, with Tic-Tacs you need to use precussion to spall them out and make a preform. So far I am just a slab knapper.
