Heres my first point in 12 yrs !
« on: March 30, 2013, 11:02:09 pm »
Eddie AKA "Mullet" here in Lakeland gave me some stone to get started knapping again so I knocked out some preforms and a point that soon will be hafted. Its been a long time and man am I rusty !

Thanks Eddie !

Looks nice that rust must have been a very light coat of it.

Man Elijah, that's a fine point with or without a 12 year hiatus! Haft it up and let it fly :)

If that's rusty after 12 years without knapping; I really would like to see your older points. Mighty fine point.

Wheeeew, that's a sticker, Elijah. I had a really great time meeting you and it was a pleasure to load you with some rock, especially seeing the results. :) Now, make a set to shoot out of that piece of Osage.  ;)
