My main focus today was sawing some Jade slabs from one of the rocks I purchased. I figured I might as well knap a point while tending the saw. I picked an odd shaped spall of dark Tiger Chert. While reducing this rock I got a spall that looked like it would make a good scraper. So I laid the point aside and knapped a scraper. I added the spurs to give it that PES look. The bottom side has a nice concave shape which is ideal for end scrapers. Then I went back and finished the point.

Well done Ron. I am very interested in seeing what you do with that jade. I know of one jade celt that was found less than a mile away from where I lived in Victoria. I kept looking for jade items whenever I was out. Sadly jade never showed in my vicinity.Bruce
In life there are losers and finders. Which one are you?
