Still have the fever
« on: April 25, 2012, 12:28:15 pm »
I had the itch after Georges get together. So I tried a little therapeutic knapping. This paleo style was knapped from some rootbeer I had. In the percussion stages I found a hole in the stone. I've always wanted to make a point with a hole in it. The symmetry is not perfect but to even it out I would have lost the hole. The base was hard as a rock & I had some problems thinning it out. Hope y'all like it. Tower

That is very cool.  Looks great.  I'm not seeing much of a symmetry issue tho?

I'm glad you didn't mess it up, would probably be pretty easy to snap the tip off with a hole like that. Very cool point. :)
