x-mas weekend points
« on: December 27, 2009, 03:24:29 am »
well i got some coral in the mail last week wednesday
which was good because i was down to using waste flakes to make points from
not that i dont like using them,but prefer better spalls to work from
well i made a few points since thursday.
one from a waste flake two from the coral
i dont know what style of points they are.
i think the one may be a Dalton,one maybe a Northern and as far as i can tell maybe a hillsborough
thanks for peeking



                                                                                      peace,
                                                                                            tim

thanks for the nice words everyone
all three are somewhat translucent when back lite,with the larger coral one being the most translucent
could find my good flashlight to use to backlight them

Mike: the coral aint bad at all.but it doesnt allow for poor platforms and such.its hard material and you have to abraid well and make sure the platform is well
        established before you try and flake it.other wise my ishi stick will just slide off.butthat inteurn makes you have to pay attention to every flake you want to take
Dana: ya i'm knapping in the house.i know not a good idea but i keep  fan blowing across me when i do it and keep the door closed so it doesnt transfer to the rest of  
         the house.and i sit near the air intake of the furnace.we have an excellent hepa filtration system,so that helps
