Sort of looks like an arrowhead? It looks pretty danged good to me. Very nice job on the tools and the finished product.

Thank you Kind Sir. I'll keep fooling with it. I would prefer to have them appear full size if I can.
Thanks for the nod. I must admit I was kinda proud of it myself. Of course, like everyone I wanted it to be better but I'm sure the ones that follow will be.
I now have some TV glass to play with and some Johnstone too but I'm not liking it all that much yet, it's sorta crappy! I'm trying to get my glass down before I move on to rock.

Thanks so much Rick, the tools are pretty fun to make and then see them work and work well is just cool. I had always read about Indians made stone points using an antler and it made absolutely no sense to me until I grabbed an antler and started beatin on a beer bottle with! I just looked and thought, "I'll be dipped, it works???"

Ooooh. I get it. I do. I get it.

Cool about having a knapper over there. I wish we had more Rondy stuff around here. We have 1 in Oct. It's lots of fun to go to.

beautifull work people! you are awesome!
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. Helen Keller

That looks really nice YCC!
Always wanted to try my hand at knapping, but never have gotten around to it...
When all else fails, read the directions, and beware the Chihuahuacabra!
Thanks! It takes a few specialized tools (just the right size and shape horn, a rough rock) but it's a lot of fun. If you break one, you just throw it down and start another. This must've been the fifth one I tried that day, haha!
I asked my mentor how he got to be so good at knapping. I expected him to say "practice", but he said
"You gotta fluff the pillow just right"
He's a joker
Man there is some skill here.
This is the last one I did, about 5 days ago.
