Troy has been knapping for years and is pretty good at it. High quality Coastal Plain chert when heat treated is as good as obsidian. I am still trying to find the source for that black iron Tallahatta sandstone that is so pretty.

Good looking points. I like the flake pattern on the red one. Is that indirect or is your aim that good?

PaleoPlanet.com/knapping classifieds/curtis Smith Dumb question, when you knap your own points, are you aiming for a certain weight for the point, or do you just adjust in other ways?

all my knapping is by direct percussion or by ishi stick to finish the edge.
I don't worry so much about weight as size. I cant shoot worth a chit beyond 20 yards anyway....LOL

Hats off to those of you that can do it. A bought some spalls once. Made big rocks into little ones. Bout as good as I can do. Considering trying bone someday. thats the way you learn, turning a pile of rocks into a pile of little rocks. Rinse. Repeat.

If you ever come to the beach, I will swap you. Someone with more experience could definitely do you a better job, however.

How do you attach the finished head to the arrow? Epoxy ? for hunting I sometimes use epoxy, finish by wrapping with sinew for looks.
