If Woody sent me a truck load

[ishiwannabe]

Impressive work for sure. One day I will be able to make a head worthy of hunting...

[Bert Frelink]

Hope to get a little "red" on this one later this fall.
I was lucky enought to be the high bidder at the St Judes auction again this year so I have a couple "in stock"
Regards, Bert.

Can someone please provide demensions for a stone head suitable for deer size game?  

[elkbreath]

HOLY SMOKES!  those are beautiful.  Gettin my hair up even.  I'm thinking I need a couple in 300 gr single bevel.  I would love to give this a go.  Dang now I have something else to think about.

That blue one is incredible bert, just incredible.  anybody got a good link to photos with kills and stone points?

And knife, when you get that fly pattern worked out, i live in wyoming.. :-)

Woody I was not fishing for a point       It was strictly a observation on my part. Coveting the head you gave me in Texas. Thinking about what you said, use it. I get it out and look at it, and get all wrapped up into the how its done. With such perfection, every little flake that is missing. That makes it such a wonder to behold, and makes it such a lethal cutting instrument. Parts of it may be my being taken back to Texas and that Sweat hunt. Makes me glow with every memory, and all the guys there. How I would like to share a camp them all again.

I remember the day, you got up and said HERE. I have to stretch my legs, give it a go. To say I was intimated is a understatement. But I did sit down and worked two piece's of your waste. All I did was what a monkey would do, monkey see monkey do    :D   All I could think was don't bust it in two, just remove with grace. What did not look like it should be there!

I ended up with these two heads 1 @ 40 grs the other 74 grs a touch light but from your flakes.  

     

I did buy some knapping tools, after this hunt. But still have not put the pressure to the flaker. Guilty of stone neglect     :rolleyes:  

My only excuse is, OK I don't have one    

[knife river]

Brent, I know you're not fishing.  If I thought you were, I wouldn't make the offer -- I'm not that nice a guy.      

[hormoan]

I beg to differ,    :D  on the nice guy part  

[hormoan]

Andy I would love nothing better, than to share a       with you again. ANYWHERE   Long as you promise to run another live hog though my sleeping quarters      

And Doc, you are so correct. Those red ones are awesome!

[NorthernCaliforniaHunter]

Man oh man what a group this TradGang is. Blown away every time I sign in. Twice, three times daily!  

[tippit]

Woody,
If you come up with a flint fly, I want to be the first to swing it thru that Big Bend Hole on the Cottonwood     Only trouble that there is Catch & Release.  Everything I've seen you knap is deadly      tippit

[Killdeer]

"come up with a flintknapped fly pattern..."

Would that be a stonefly nymph or a Bernie dun?
Killdeer   :D

[tarponnut]

It should be a dry fly,no floatant allowed (parachute Adams?)
Cool thread!

[razorsharptokill]

How about a three blade knapped head Woody? If anyone could do it I'd put my money on you.

[elkbreath]

so theres youre answer killy,

A Knife Rifer Stonefly

brilliant

[hormoan]

Doc go to his site, and look at the little things sticking in the onion. I do believe he could make you a barbless model     The trick is putting the eye in it   :D

[HATCHCHASER]

       

[knife river]

Knap a DRY FLY with no floatant???  You people are sick.  Seriously disturbed.  And that's why I like ya.    

[hormoan]

I am at a loss of what to call them, stick pins??? They are simple amazing, I am almost glad I do not have one. I would have to wear\\buy a jewelers magnifier, to admire it in detail.   :D

John has the light touch
