stuff

[sailordad]

well i been kinda busy as of late
been making stuff
some stuff for a trade
some stuff just cause i need to knapp daily,if i dont i think i would go nuts.
some of them were made to relieve stress,again.
some were made just because
and a couple were supposed to be much larger,and become smaller and smaller,but were still to nice to leave lay on the floor
anyhoo hers some pics

these are for trade,the twins were made last night for stress reliefe


these were just because i wanted to see if i could do them.dacite,and coral


these were supposed to be larger,but i kept f*%#n them up and would have to reduce.i think each one is on its 3rd size reduction
the darker one is peacock obsid. the other im not sure what it is,kinda like obsidion but not quit.


thanks for peeking

                                                                                   peace,
                                                                                          tim

i was looking thru my overstreet book to see what kind of point i made.
i found it kinda,well cool that i made and almost perfect hardee beveled point
and from coral too,just like the pic to the right of the point

Them first three look like deer killers to me.
  What's that 'un over the 6" mark made of?

[sailordad]

the two on the ends, i thought were kentucky blue
i thought the middle one was when i started,but its kinda green.and was a bit tougher than the other two

[GregB]

[mullet]

 Those look good, Tim. I've found Hardees that looked just like that.

[jcinpc]

Hey Sailordad,
        When it comes to them rocks I wouldn't know one if it hit me in the head......but I see a lot of you knappers reffering to "small heads" and I was woundering what you mean by that? Most of the artifacts I see in the museums in the great lakes area were pretty small....about like some I saw that you fellas called bird points......anyway I allways thought they were supposed to be small.....shows what I know.

Rich I believe most of the smaller points were true arrow heads and the larger stuff was used atatyls and such if that helps any

[half eye]

Thanks Dana, that explains it.....like I said never knapped anything (well maybe from 1pm to 2pm sometimes) you guys just amaze the s@#* out of me.

[FlintWalker]
