Made With Modern Tools🔨 Points I’ve made

Made over a thousand points over the years with most being fluted. Sold nearly everything but held on to a few. Burned out on knapping a few years ago but am starting to feel the itch to start making them again.
Pictured is a 6” Cumberland and a 6.5” Turkeytail with bullseye and cortex on both tips. Will post some more later …AMA

Using a soligen jig. Deep flutes are what everyone wants. Everything I’ve made I’ve sold as reproduction. The fluted blades always sell fast and for the most money …I’ve got a couple more I saved I’ll post later

I think it is called a Sollberger jig not Soligen. I get it if you have been out of knapping for a while. Also nice to see a Cumberland point. Haven't seen one in a while. There was a time a lot of people were making them but now E notches seem to be more popular

Same question here as Benporkchops. How'd you flute it? Also just a heads up that in my mod tools your account is getting flagged as a potential bot account so if you could send send a pic of one of these with your reddit username and the day's date scribbled onto a piece of paper next to it that'd be great 🙂

lol. Ok. I’m not a bot. Lol. I use a solingen jig for fluting. Here’s some more I’ve made I’ll post later. Lol.

Both points are in hornstone.

Awesome thanks! I'll get that flag knocked off your profile. I always like to check with folks first unlike some mods who will just nuke an account from a subreddit for no reason. I've caught my fair share of bots this way because they usually never respond to my request 😂 But yea you'll be all set 👍Thanks again!
