Recent Arrowhead Trades

I was able to trade points with a few knappers recently. One of them I know through Facebook and another was through the PITH trade on Paleoplanet forums. Both of them sent me nice work and lots of rocks. Thanks Ken and Jim!

These two beautiful obsidian points were made by Jim Cooper from Washington State. He also included some obsidian, basalt, and jasper for me to knap.

This array of points was knapped by Ken Tanner of Colorado. The material, from left to right, is Tiger chert, Dacite, and Tallahatta quartzite. He included a large variety of flint to knap, including Tiger chert, Wyoming oil chert, agatized algae, agate, Colorado chert, and more.

Thanks again guys for the awesome trades!

Wilder Creek Conservation Clube Demo 2015

The demonstration that I do with my friend Steve Laut at Wilder Creek Conservation Club went well this year. We do the demonstration as part of a a barbecue put on by WCCC, which also invites other demonstrators. Here are some pictures of our setups.
