Look what I made!



These are photos of my first attempt at a very difficult projectile point. I tried to make a Gainey style "fluted" point (ca. 11 500 - 10 000 years old), and almost suceeded - one side is partially fluted. I tried the other side, and failed, so I figured I'd better get some pictures of it before I try again and break the damned thing. This point was made on obsidian (courtesy of Scott), and I used a combination of antler and copper tools to knap it. Definitely my best piece yet! If I can get that other side fluted I'll get another picture.
