Let's see some pointy thingy's. Could be stone, bone, steel, etc. Could be a arrowhead, knife, hawk, etc. The only stipulation is YOU had to make it in 2018. John

Found some flakes and broken arrowheads here in OK. So I decided to have some fun. John

That big one is a dandy.

Some red glass. John

OH YEAH :-) I'll be back. Nice work. JF

All except the white one. Message holders at work. JF

Black and White novaculite. JF

Very Nice Gentlemen

Great looking points guys. Guess I'll be the first knife poster, here's 2 I just finished up. 1095 steel with elk scales.

CJE, great craftsmanship.

Selfbow, what material are those 5 black points.

Great work guys. John

The Black points are made of pitkin chert from Arkansas

Great job fellas

Can WE have SOME MORE PLEASE????

Here's another from 2018 Hornstone

Polychrome knife. Trying out some new stands using cholla cactus which is the same material as the handle.

Dang phone camera. Can some turn it.

Gotcha Jon :-)

Blade I knappers this winter.

Kooohoool ??

Some kind of obsidian. Not sure why my photos are posting up side down from my phone?

Looks like where the mahogany flowed next to the black obsidian, very nice scaring. Please show that one with some light behind the blade, thanks. John

I would call it Tri Flo but it has about 4 different brown colors in it. Can't remember where I got the rock. I usually donate my points but might have to hang on to this one.

Couple from Thursday night. The blade is polychrome jasper and the point is obsidian.

Killerrrrs ??:-)

Awesome...

Beautiful looking points and knives.

Thanks for the photos of the handwork. Stewart, that's very nice.

Lots of talent here !! I wish I had some of that.

Trying to post a fresh knapped arrowhead. Not loading :-\ JF

Got to get back it. Been down for the count with pneumonia. In the hospital for a bit but on the mend.You have to keep at it or you lose a bit.

Beautiful work, here, gentlemen.

Murray

Awesome Cahokias selfbow :-) JF

Good stuff. I am practising daily, soon I will have something to post.

Found a good use for my cut off, from fadeouts. Fun. JF

Jeff, that' sweet!. John

Gave me an idea too for my selfbow. Those would make kool tip overlays on your limbs, with notches for the string grooves. John

Jon sorry to hear you have been sick. Beautiful points and blades guys. I dig the wooden one too. >>>----> Ken

Fantastic work! Be proud.

One thing this thread makes clear is that bodymanbowyer, outbackbob and selfbow all have a set of "WorkingManHands". You three not only find and/or make great artifacts but it appears you get some work done as well. Thanks for the images. Here's one of my own I found while fishing in a river in New England very close to where it dumps into the ocean. I think it is a broken spear point from a fisherman who preceded me many years ago.

Coool find Budly Here's number two of my bellyramp scrap points. Fun :-) I did this during break today and notched at home. JF

One man's scrap.....nice work!! -bb

Made my first pine tree from a Bacote scrap :-)

I went to the Oklahoma Selfbow Society Knap-in last weekend. My brain is on overload. Picked up some Keokuk(sp?) and I don't know what the carmel color stone is. John

Novaculite

Rootbeer

Kay County

Georgetown Flint

Rainbow Obsidian

Flint ?

Don't know the name of this green Obsidian?

Two heads that shrunk to bird points as I'm learning this new material. John

Your gonna be a knappin machine John :-) cool. Love the GT. JF

Leftover from Mountainmans bow build. Leopardwood corner Tang Point. JF

It's been pretty hot and humid. So I am taking a break from building my grandsons Longbows. Sooo, I've been sitting in front of a fan and making these Points from Longbow build scraps. This a new hobby, I just started playing around with. JF

I like em!! On a larger scale, I carved this euro. John

Cool John,I like it. JF

Here a few more points from Bald Eagle knappin 2018. Black novaculite and orange carra glass.

These are all faux from past Longbow builds, scraps. Cutouts from the bellyramps. JF

Those Faux points are pretty cool Jeff. I assume- yeah I know- that wood does not knap like stone, so is it a form of sanding/grinder?

-Bones

Yep you guessed it Cody :-) JF

My first faux, Graham Cave toothy Point. Scrap from my grandsons New bows. JF

It is just amazing what beautiful work some of you fellas do! Great talent!

It is just amazing what beautiful work some of you fellas do! Great talent!

Another piece of scrap from my grandsons Longbow build. Faux Dalton Point. JF

I really like that satin finish of the novaculite.

And Jeff, as if I have a hard enough time letting go of my scrap wood, now you tickled my hoarding bone. John

Made a trade with some stone points I knapped. John

I received a couple deadheads. This is a neck knife I made for my falconry buddy for Christmas. John

Very nice work Stoner.

Jeff I really like those wooden points.

Awesome job on that neck knife John. Your buddy will love that. Those dead heads do make a bad ass looking neck knife. Well done.

Nice points everyone. I'll see if I can find a few pictures

Here's one from TV glass I made for my niece and her new husband for their wedding

Bjrogg

This one is from arrow trade on PA site

Bjrogg

This is one of the little ones I sometimes play around with.

Bjrogg

One more little one

Bjrogg

Another knife from TV glass

Bjrogg

PS the glass is knappable just like Obsidian. I love those Faux wood points. You did a fantastic job on those. They have very nice scar patterns and are very real looking. Maybe I'll find one more knife before I gotta go. This should be from Obsidian Jon gifted me deer leg bone handle.

Bjrogg

Just one more. I got this point in a trade at Marshall Michigan Primitive Archery Meet from Matt. I found it inside the chest cavity of my second selfbow buck. Always like finding them there.

Bjrogg

A friend called and asked me to make knife for his son who is in the Marines.

Found a coin for the handle.

Played around with some small pieces of material. The Grey point at 11:00 o'clock is made from one of the few materials found in Michigan. Bay Port Chert

Made this a month ago. JF

Also the other two. JF

Nice Jeff, what is the point on the right made out of? Flintridge?

The point on the right bottom picture I believe I think it's amethyst Sage? Youngest daughter is getting that one, LOL,she's 32 years old, wow. She liked it. JF

This is India agate. JF

I don't know the Stone. It possible it might be a novaculite. JF

Here is a ABO Motley style point that is all hammer stone and antler. Bob

Sweeeet point Robert. JF

Dandy points everyone. Jeb love that knife for your buddies son in the Marines.

Outback that's just plain sweet point there.

Bjrogg

I love this stuff, all of it. This is the best kind of thread out there. This and selfbows.

Outback: That rock looks tough enough to work to make a preacher cuss lol Nice looking blade.

Jon, it had it's moments. Some of it was pretty dry. Bob

Here's a couple for ya. These are going along with my grandson's to longbows everything except for the artificial sinew is genuine right down to the pine tar pitch glue. :-) JF

Amazing work guys!!!

Nice stuff Jeff.

Thank ya Jon :-) JF

As close as I have come so far.....

Pics of my knapping tools wont post.

You guys have done exceptional work, I have knapped the flint in my longrifle many times, but never have thought of trying to make arrow points, it may not be the same technique.

I would love to learn to make arrow heads for my hunting arrows, I guess I had better get started....Ha!Ha!

Trouble in Florida is we don't have any stone, everything will have to be imported.

I lived in the center of the Seneca reservation in NY which bordered on the Mohawk territory, arrow heads were everywhere.

Here in Florida everything has sunk in the swamps....Ha!Ha!

GREAT JOB MEN!!!!

Just a little knap today. Rock is Jefferson City Chert, from a friend down home. JF

Some Christmas points and maybe back to Thanksgiving. JF

Few more

Jeff, That's beautiful work. I have to make the New Year's resolution to get into that once and for all b/c I 've been wanting to try to do that for ever. TK

Anyone know if you can make a good point from chalcedony? I found some in Montana once and kept a few chunks. still have them somewhere. Feels about like flint but maybe a hardness of 8.

Nice stuff Jeff. Couple of Pedernales looking points in the mix.

RonG: you have petrified coral down your way. Just have to find it. Check with some local rock clubs and maybe they will give you a lead on it. Makes great arrowheads.

Put these together for Christmas. My 3 kings.

Bjrogg

Good stuff Brian. Going to be awhile before I can get back at it.

Amazing work gentlemen.

-Bones

Thanks Jon. You have more important things to occupy your time right now. I sure hope things take a turn for the better. Bless you both.

Bjrogg

Looks like there are a lot of talented knappers on site. Good looking blades! Keep up the good work!:)

It's all fun :-) JF

Bodyman U been busy. This is my first successful rainbow obsidian head. Pics don't do the colors justice. John

Thought you guys could see it through your minds eye. Guess not so here's a couple pics.

Here is a knife I made out of mahogany obsidian and a nice pc of cholla that I got from Jeb. Bob

Here is a knife I made out of mahogany obsidian and a nice pc of cholla that I got from Jeb. Bob

Nice point Stoner. Good pictures to. Nice knife Outback. I'd sure like to get some more chola. Jon gave me some to and it some really interesting stuff. These might be the last two of 2018 not sure

Bjrogg

Another one

Bjrogg

I hope to head back to AZ. next month. The first hike I take in the Superstition Mnts. I'll be looking for some small diameter cholla. John

So inspirational. Thanks for sharing all the amazing artwork everyone.

Stoner. If the cholla is a little bit to big of diameter you can file, grind and sand it down to fit your hand good. Up to a certain point of course. The last few I did to fit them to my hand nice. Then I used a light wood stain and then tru oil. I really liked the results.

Bjrogg

Not sure if this one is from 2018 but it's a cholla handle I shaped, stained, put a button on and finished with tru oil

Another picture of same knife

Bjrogg

Here is a Perkiomen style point from some Normanskill flint from the Hudson Valley area, Bob
