Extreme Knapping and a "Flintknapper's Quest for Glory".


Here is a cool video that explores knapping extremes such as eccentrics, notching, and making very big blades.
Extreme knapping

This video is on the humorous side, you just have to watch it to get it.

New Pointy Things!

This is a Godar point. The material is a unique piece of Flint Ridge flint that I collected and heat treated myself. I don't make a lot of side notched points, but I like this one.

A nice little novaculite Snyders. I've been saving this rock a while since it is pretty unique.

You can see the really cool lighting when it is back lit.

A Burlington chert Hopewell point. This a little thick but it is still nice.



This is my first real attempt at a Thebes point. The material is a piece of heat treated Flint Ridge flint.
