My buddies points
« on: September 08, 2008, 03:25:46 pm »
     I stopped by Claude VanOrders house yesterday, took him some Novaculite, got some helpfull tips and visited for awhile. Claude and another friend, Steve Oliver had just gotten back from Denmark. I got to see all the pictures of Viking burial mounds,and the unbelievable pictures of Danish Daggers and axes in the museums they visited. They also brought back 1200# Of nice, black, Danish Flint. Here is a replica of a Danish arrowhead that was in one of the museums and a three sided point that was used for piercing armor.If you look close at the edges, they weren't pressure flaked but punched in. Claude said the museum had a skull that had been hit in the side of the nose and the point had severed the spinal column.

  David, I asked Claude the same thing. He said he couldn't tell me but he could show me how. I'd like to head shoot something with it. Uwe, Steve is getting good, Claude is teaching him and is light years better.

   ;D ;D, Eddie, I wish you had bid $.50 more than me, I thought it was Claude's and was just running it up. I didn't think it would sell that cheap. Chris Cade was bidding on it too.

Wow! Awesome - that is some fine lookin flint. Wanna trade a box of this TX stuff for a box of that ;D? Some fine flaking too, those pressure flakes from edge to past center (collateral flaking?) really takes some talent. Show some more ;).

  Paul, what flint you see is all I got. Steve is selling it on Ebay. I heard after shipping it back it cost him around $2400.

That's a little rich for my pocketbook ;). I'll just keep heat treating and bopping, maybe come up with a big enough peice for a dagger one of these days. Wish I had somebody that advanced to hang out with around here..
