Obsidian Arrowhead
« on: November 18, 2007, 04:37:00 PM »
Well i have been knapping for about a 1 1/2 years now and after breaking dozens of really nice potential points i have made what i would consider my best point. so i thought i would share it with you. i have other points that only my wife thinks are great, i am much harder on myself, but most of the texts i've read on the subject say that it takes about 2-4 years before you really get the hang of it, so i think i'm right on track. i think for christmas i will ask "Santa"  for some Texas flint and Novaculite.

Rick

p.s. if you have any advice, its always welcome.

 
 
Its all Gary Paulsen's fault, he got me dreaming about a bent stick and string.

Hey Rick.  I know absolutely nothing about knapping but if it were my work, I'd be grinning, proudly from ear to ear.  Very cool.
