Finally got a chance to break some rock
« on: March 05, 2010, 05:33:32 pm »
Here is my sad attempt. Been awhile since I had a chance to knap. Still rusty, not that I was any good to begin with.
Some rhyolite and dacite that are gonna be blades and a sad rhyolite poit and my best effort today was a obsidian point.

You got that right. I did the dacite first and the obsidian last. The rhyolite I got out my fustration on in the middle.

Thank you for naming it. I looked it up and dang it does look like an Adena. I didnt do it on purpose. That was going to be a knife blade. The tang was gonna be set in an antler. Cool I made an Adena ;D
