Georgetown flint Clovis with a unique Tiger Stripe pattern that I haven't seen in much of this type of stone. Direct percussion flutes.  


Georgetown flint Firstview. This is my best flake over grind point to date. Almost perfect collateral flaking.
 
L: 3 1/2 in. W: 1 in.   L: 4 1/2 in. W: 1 in.

Tecovas Jasper Andice/Calf Creek. Beautiful material and killer notches with great symmetry. A must for those who collect for color and workmanship.  

Cumberland point made from heat treated Ft. Payne chert. Fully fluted on both faces. I don't make many of these style points so get it while you can.
L: 2 3/4 in. W: 1 3/4 in.   L: 3 1/2 in. W: 1 in.

Edwards Tab chert Plainview/Allen.  


Clovis made from raw Missouri Reeds Springs/Boone chert. Slight propeller twist due to raw material which gives the allure that it was resharpened.
 
L: 2 1/4 in. W: 3/4 in.   L: 3 1/2 in. W: 1 1/4 in.

My first ever Beveled E-Notched Thebes made from raw Missouri Reeds Spring/Boone chert with a Bullseye.  

Purple Horse Creek Jasper Cahokia.
L: 3 1/2 in. W: 1 1/2 in.   L: 2 in. W: 3/4 in.

Lost Lake style point made from 2 colored Wyoming Porcellinite. Very thin with nice percussion scars.  

This is a good replica of a Fractured Base Decatur.
Made from heated Ft. Payne chert. Measures 3" long by
1 1/2" wide and thin.
L: 4 1/2 in. W: 2 in.   L: 3 in. W: 1 1/2 in.

An art Clovis made from heat
treated Tennessee Ft. Payne. It has very nice patterned collateral pressure flaking done on a percussion flaked preform. The flute were done on a jig but didn't come out like I really wanted them to. This point also has a hole in one of the ears where a fossil was.
 

This is a good replica of a Neuberger point. Made
from heat treated Burlington chert. 3" long by 1 1/2"
wide and fairly thin.
 
L: 5 in. W: 1 1/2 in.   L: 3 in. W: 1 1/2 in.

This is a nice Kirk style point made from heat treated
Ft. Payne with an interesting patter and a healed
crack going from side to side and face to face. Very
unique point. 2 3/4" long by 1 3/4" wide.
 

This is one of my best Clovis' to date. Made from heat treated buckskin color Edwards. This is probably the thinnest Clovis I have done with excellent flutes done by direct percussion. Made like the old ones; flutes early then the rest of the percussion flake followed by pressure retouch and grinding. Modern knapped Art collectors check this one out.
L: 2 3/4 in. W: 1 3/4 in.   L: 3 1/4 in. W: 1 1/4 in.

This is a very true to type Clovis replica made from
raw Green and Black New York Normanskill flint. My
first point made of this material and I am very satisfied with the point and the material. Again,
knapped as the old ones were; flutes early, followed by a final pass of percussion flakes, and finally the pressure retouch and grinding.

variety of Tishmingo gravel.
L: 3 1/2 in. W: 1 1/4 in.   L: 2 1/4 in. W: 1 in.
