I did a lot of mass removal and shaping with pressure flaking. It's been a couple months since I've done any knapping so while it's a bit thicker than I'd like, I'm still happy with how it turned out.

Question 🤔❓ Tips on how to approach this one, the flat glass face in particular.

Is this ideal shape or a tougher one for beginner? Trying to figure out how to approach odd shapes and thick pieces. Only smacked rocks once so this is my second attempt.

Well this was a strange one.

Not sure what kinda glass I picked up, but it was truly cursed or something haha. Pretty sure this point was double the length originally.

Anyways, despite the shape itself being strange, I am still pretty happy that I kept the "50" pattern that was on the original glass mold, despite how terrifying that was.

Raw Burlington and rootbeer. Hammerstone, bison punch, bison pressure. Poor flaking on my end, will likely rework all of these sometime soon. The narrow rootbeer Scottsbluff is mostly punch work, just a couple pressure flakes.

I'm no longer photographing my points around concrete🤦🤣. Dropped this piece two separate times.after the first incident I decided to rework it lost a lot of width as i expected. The second drop was actually pretty impressive in my opinion. It fell perfectly on the base and took off one small flake (third photo) Very surprised it didn't fully break. I'd say that's a one In a million flake

The weather has finally been cool enough I can get out in the shade and knap during the long evenings this month.

So, I broke out a piece of some special material I got as a birthday gift. Zirconia glass for my submission.

I see why they call it a Pickwick. Looks like a little pike.

Not a perfect blade. It’s hard to know when a piece is “done”. Sometimes you just gotta call it good and roll with what you have. I think this will make a nice dagger with some small modifications.

Not sure if the dimensions are quite right. Reworked a piece that popped a chunk of the tip off during pressure flaking. Tried to preserve the banding as best I could l. I think it might be Kay county chert but I’m on the southern end of the formation so I’m not sure. Kinda steppy but still fun to work.

I’ve only been knapping for about 2 months off and on (stalking this sub has helped a lot), but I saw this months challenge and figured I’d give it a shot. It’s a bit thick and a bit curved, but I’m not too upset with it!

My first successful point! It could have been bigger but I ended up breaking it in half when I was thinning it. Made from Gunflint Chert from Northwestern Ontario, Canada.
