I forgot to add this one here:

13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God...

Re: Arrow Heads
Thank you; really anyone can do it if they have some tools and some suitable rock. Like with anything else it boils down to practice.

Re: Arrow Heads
If there's suitable rock hereabouts, I'm gonna get some and practice. Those knapped arrowheads are way too cool!

Re: Arrow Heads
Thanks, I’ve only been knapping for about 7 months. So if you need any help or suggestions, I can give you about 7 months worth of novice experiential opinion

Re: Arrow Heads
Once again, beautiful work!
The only thing I was ever able to chip or flake off was a front tooth and a couple of pillow tops full of dandruff...

Re: Arrow Heads
I don’t have rocks where I live, so every time we go on vacation I try to find some that are knappable. We went to Oklahoma a while back and while we were there I found quartz. It can be difficult material to knap but I was able to squeeze out a point from a good sized flake.
Dovetail point (quartz)
1-1/4” Long
3/4” Wide
Little over 1/8th inch thick

Thanks guys! I must have broke 5 potential Clovis points before this one. Free-handing flutes is a dangerous operation.

Re: Arrow Heads
A friend at work has found arrowheads his whole life and knew that I have never found one. So he gave me this really nice example. It’s the only real one that I have, besides the 1/4 piece of a Clovis I found at the beach.
It’s blue in color and when held to the light it is translucent yellow.
The point has a twist to it because it was sharpened.
