A Pine tree and a Big Sandy
« on: May 19, 2009, 09:55:46 pm »
I made these two today at work.  They're both fairly common point types for my area.  Looking back, I needed to open up the notches a little more on the Big Sandy, but I guess they'll have to do since they both stalled on me anyway.
 Hope ya'll like 'em.

Thanks Jesse!  You've seen that Horse Creek before ;)  It's some tough stuff, but I like it. ;D

     Dang Boy, those are sweet !!  :o Let me know when you get any more broken saw blades up there.  Did you percussion flake them, or pressure flake them?  I need to get with Eddie, and Claude, and learn how to percussion flake.  Those are really nice. 8)

Wayne I used some percussion just to get it down to where I could work it with my Ishi stick.  As of about 4 days ago I didn't have a bopper of any kind, so I'm still trying to learn how to use one.  ???

  I had a wrecked saw a week or so ago...but you wouldn't have wanted it. It looked like a pretzel.
 I haven't forgotten you. ;),
