Practicing for the PITH (new pics)
« on: February 24, 2013, 10:49:53 am »
I got out to the pit yesterday to knock the dust off of my tools. I managed to not break an ear while notching :). Thinning and notching are my focus this year. Thanks for looking!

Nice job!!

Time, dedication, cuts, tons of broken rock, a wife, and perhaps a few girlfriends are some of what it takes in becoming a skilled flint knapper!!!

Thanks for the compliments! I would agree Bob, all of these started as blocky chunks that I got to thin faster than they got smaller :D

feel free to send me one of your practice heads...wow....I got to learn to finish a bow before I take on knapping.  Will have to stick with the traditional/primitive 160 Ribteks for now on my shafts. LOL

Good looking points Tracy.  Man look @ all that sun!  I don't get that here in the valley, I still have snow and ice around the house and knapping pit.  Great Job!! dpg
