Arrowheads and Points

[WildEd]

Here are some arrowheads and a lance point I made out of Novaculite, a white chert or flint. The lance head had a flaw in the stone but I was able to work around it without it breaking and it turned out a fair point. ET

A couple of years ago I was in the High Sierras fishing from my float tube. I went to the shore to take a leak and when I was getting back into the tube I saw what looked to be an arrowhead in the shallow water. I picked it up and took it back to camp and everyone thought it was an arrowhead also. I will send a couple of pictures to FB for him to post and maybe you can tell me what you think.

awsome ed . how longf have you been knapping stone tools? and what elsse have you made?.

[WildEd]

Off and on for a year. I have made about 40 points so far and broke or chunked a couple hundered. I am working on making enough for a Replica Display in the house. Here are a couple more.

is it possible to make larger blades from the matterials that you have?

[WildEd]

It would take larger pieces of stone. The larger the spall or flake the larger the point. ET

WOW! WildEd you sure are talented. I tried to make some points once but never succeeded. (I couldn't see the 2nd picture only the white ones)A friend made me one out of red glass that was beautiful. I was wondering where in the High Sierras (my neck of the woods) raptrlvr was float tubing?
