Springtime stuff, knapping out of doors

A coarse obsidian something. I tried some diagonal pressure flaking.

A "big" novaculite turkeytail!

                                             A small snyders point made of what I think is flintridge flint.

                                       A harvester chert adena that I made at the Chelsea knap-in.

This spring's work

A corner notch point made from white porceline novaculite. The notches were done with an antler punch.

A side-notch made from translucent pink novaculite. The notches were done with a pressure flaker. The stone was a real treat to work.

 A gibson point from heated flint ridge chert.

Michigan Flintknapper's Chelsea knap-in

Here are some pictures Frank Stevens took at the knap-in on April 6th. As you can see, we all had a good time.

Point-in-the-hat

As a member of paleoplanet, a arrowhead trading event is held quarterly on the website. This is an excellent way to share a knapper's work and get some other people's work as well. Here is a very nice point sent to me by the paleoplanet member Chippintuff.
