I have been trying Ralph Conrad's method of making a final pass with antler and making my points super sharp.  Although my thickness can still be thinner these are some of the sharpest points I've been making.  I used the same process on my PITH that I sent to Hunts with Stone.  Both are out of Hill Kountry, TX chert.  Not 100% sure exactly what it is and I'll bow to the guys who know their rock.  I just know it's knappable

Bowtarist: I'm still too cheap to buy any antler billets.  Funds are getting tight as of late with a child due in June and looking for a job but I did have a neighbor give me all his old whitetail antlers that I've been using to pressure flake a bit.  So far I'm doing all copper until the final passes that I use antler.  Just pushing in and twisting.  Not looking to push flakes off.  For me it makes them super sharp compared to what I was making and if anyone has any other tips for sharp points I'm all ears.

Hey goose nice work on those. How are u setting up for the twist or are u just hitting the high spots or Deltas? ~~~~~ this set up would be a clock wise twist rolling into the valleys right.

Nice points Goose. Didn't get a chance to chip much last time I seen you. Mike

Mike: You're the one my wife has to thank me for my affliction and large rock collection in the garage.   

Hunts with stone: I'm just VERY lightly abrade (I'm not sure if Ralph does) and I push in and twist clockwise on the small platforms into the valleys.  It doesn't push more than 1/8"-1/4" flakes off but makes the edge thin and sharp.  Then again I could be doing it all wrong.

Thaks goose. I'll get A hold of Ralph see what he says and let you know.

Edwards chert.  Looks like the kind of stuff that can be found between San Antonio and Junction.

Cool points!
