No Pressure

[Ron Kelley]

It's fun to do something a little different once in a while.
This four inch blade was knapped with no pressure flaking.
And yet it is sharp and would work fine without the edge work.

nice job Ron

[Hal Gorges]

That’s reminiscent of a couple of Florida styles, I think the broad random flaking is just right for that point...How thin is it.

[Ron Kelley]

Thanks Hal, Pressure flaking would have thinned is more but it's thin enough. I'll post a picture below.

[Hal Gorges]

Ones I find like that are not really to thin.

Sure wish I could find a big chunk of purple Alibates for you Ron.....

[Ron Kelley]

I would love to try my hand at more of the TX Alibates. Keep me in mind JJ.

[Lindenmeier-Man]

Ok Ron, flag me so I won’t miss the pic !

I try to stay up but the site moves fast....

Here is an edge shot:

That’s thin to me

Texas Alibates: Points 408 & 409

[Ron Kelley]

I'm sure I could do better today.

That's great Ron. It just shows to go ya, what they could make quickly and functional. Kim

Good lookin point, Would bet it would do any cutting needed.

[Narrow Way Knapper]

That's some skill Ron. Percussion flakes are beautiful!

[oldrocks2]

Those 3 flakes center right, was that one wack or three.

[Ron Kelley]

Hey Lawrence, That was three hits. I was trying to thin that area and didn't get what I wanted. Well at least I'm happy I didn't over do it and mess up the edge. You can see the ridge I was trying to run.

[oldrocks2]

I thought 3 and now I see what you were doing, Nice job and a super looker.

[redrocks]

Good example Ron!
