first off thank you for getting me over the 1000 view marker.. i know it doesnt sound like much but its a milestone in my books..
over the past few weeks i decided to try my hand at making some larger points out of the preforms that i have been so religiously making. here’s what i came up with:
a dovetail (possibly the best point i have ever made) a folsom-clovis cross, and my first attempt at a winachee clovis!
CLICK ON THE PHOTOS FOR HIGH RES. IMAGES! (they fill your screen!)
hover the mouse over the first photo of a point for a more detailed description.
enjoy…

and finally the winachee clovis:
my first winachee clovis, made out of "pumkin" or mahogany obsidian.
have a good one, and thanks for looking!

This is so fantastic.
Sir..I am not commenting direcly on these wonderful things..however I have a question…..I recently picked up what I think is a point..not clovis ..i was walking in Clare in suffolk and found a number of interesting items ..one that I think is a point with what looks like remnants of a fine cement material attached to its base…the point is flint …I was wondering whether points could have been attached using a form of cement…thankyou Rex
