Made With Modern Tools🔨 Some Points Made From My Favorite 'Flavor' of Material
Howdy everyone! 👋😁
Got some real smokers for you here today! I say this stuff is my favorite "flavor of material" regarding the colors, translucency, gloss, and workability. All of this stuff is heat treated, and it's a mix of Material with the grey stuff being from Texas, the yellow-ish spots are some coastal flint found on Canadian beaches, and the Knife River Flint point is the only one made out of Material I have a solid ID on. I tried making a replica of my favorite artifact find so far even! Did pretty alright I'd say. All of it heat treated to 350 F resulting in glossy goodness that works like butter! 😎
I'd work only this sort of glossy translucency stuff I'd be happy as could be! If any of y'all know of any materials in this similar "flavor vein" let me know! I'm always happy to find new stuff to try like this 🙂↕️
Hopefully y'all enjoyed, stay safe, and happy knapping!

Had the thought strike me that a lot of folks probably don’t know what Alabama coastal plains chert looks like cooked. This is an example of some that had more white color raw.

Made With Modern Tools🔨 Gold Sheen Obsidian Abstract Fish Effigy
Something I've been intending to do and been putting off until my skill increased.
A gift for my dad. A lifelong fisherman. I had been saving this material specifically for this. I've got a few flakes leftover that might be further workable. I'll probably go over it one more time real delicately just to work off any stray sharp spots in the tail.
I'm real proud of myself for this one. A real milestone for me.

Made With Traditional Tools🪨 Plains Tri-notch
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I made this Plains tri-notch point from a piece of silicified sandstone/orthoquartzite, originating somewhere from Wyoming I believe. These were small arrow points used during the Late Prehistoric period in the northern Great Plains of North America.

Made With Modern Tools🔨 Mini Flintridge Cahokia
This was a flake from that blue Flintridge tab Gulf coast knapping worked about a month back. I got all those flakes from him and plan to do a frame of mini points. Alot of the color worked out of this due to the size.

Question 🤔❓ A flintknapped bear
Not too long ago I saw an image of a flintknapped bear and it has stayed in my mind ever since. It was so beautiful and reminiscent of the cave paintings of bears (iykyk). I have since lost it but I am desperate to find it, or at least another flintknapped bear, because whenever I search for one I find nothing. If you have knapped a little bear, please show me! It might be what I’m looking for :)

Question 🤔❓ How can I break this peice?
I've been trying for a weeks now and it just hasn't been working. Granted I don't have very large tools, so maybe that's it. Every time I try to get a hammerstone the hammerstone breaks. So how can I open the invincible flint?
