I wasn't careful.
« on: July 22, 2011, 08:36:24 pm »
Found a little time to knap today but I broke the finished notch applying pressure with my fingers trying to get the other one in. So, instead of tossing it I reworked it. From a decent corner notch to a perdiz point.

"instead of tossing it"!!  Dang you guys must be really hard core if you're tossing out points because they have a little corner missing.  That's a killer either way I look at it.  Great looking point and reworked point!!  Man I hope you all don't toss em when they look so good.  Tower, keep them busted ones in a box and collect a few and get back w/ me when you have several and we'll try to work out a trade. ;)

Dang out of the fire nice save! Tower cant wait to meet you one day and watch you knock out one of those points with the deep notches. I finally did some nice notch work today but the camera in the phone stopped working. I will maybe have pictures up tomorrow. Are you using a pressure flaker or are you punch notching?

I punch in the larger points, pressure in the arrow points.

Very nice, good save.

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

He's right, the closest thing to a mountain around here are the stockpiles at work.   But in a weeks time I'll be in New Braunfels and there is some premium rock there.

Promoted at work & relocating. I'm gonna leave most of my stockpile here & start a new one. I've already hi-graded most of it.
