Rainy day knapping
« on: July 05, 2010, 05:55:46 pm »
Been raining/drizzle down here for a couple days ,actully cooled it down some.Yesterday made a knife with a noviculite blade,antler handle and backstrap sinue hafting.

Today made a few coral points and had a peice of that river coral ALMOST looking like a nice calf creek,I guess it's a crap creek now

Had a few busted points that were to small to do much with so I made a couple coral hearts,now ain't that sweet
Still some daylite left,might have to hit the ol' rock pile after a snack

 Looks good, Roger. I think I'm growing gills. But it's finally been cool enough to do some knapping. Jesse and I sat out under the shed Saturday afternoon and then Wayne came over Sunday around lunch.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?
