Impressive work for sure. One day I will be able to make a head worthy of hunting...

Hope to get a little "red" on this one later this fall.
I was lucky enought to be the high bidder at the St Judes auction again this year so I have a couple "in stock"
Regards, Bert.

Can someone please provide demensions for a stone head suitable for deer size game?  

HOLY SMOKES!  those are beautiful.  Gettin my hair up even.  I'm thinking I need a couple in 300 gr single bevel.  I would love to give this a go.  Dang now I have something else to think about.

That blue one is incredible bert, just incredible.  anybody got a good link to photos with kills and stone points?

And knife, when you get that fly pattern worked out, i live in wyoming.. :-)

Woody I was not fishing for a point       It was strictly a observation on my part. Coveting the head you gave me in Texas. Thinking about what you said, use it. I get it out and look at it, and get all wrapped up into the how its done. With such perfection, every little flake that is missing. That makes it such a wonder to behold, and makes it such a lethal cutting instrument. Parts of it may be my being taken back to Texas and that Sweat hunt. Makes me glow with every memory, and all the guys there. How I would like to share a camp them all again.

I remember the day, you got up and said HERE. I have to stretch my legs, give it a go. To say I was intimated is a understatement. But I did sit down and worked two piece's of your waste. All I did was what a monkey would do, monkey see monkey do    :D   All I could think was don't bust it in two, just remove with grace. What did not look like it should be there!

I ended up with these two heads 1 @ 40 grs the other 74 grs a touch light but from your flakes.  

   

I did buy some knapping tools, after this hunt. But still have not put the pressure to the flaker. Guilty of stone neglect     :rolleyes:  

My only excuse is, OK I don't have one    

Brent, I know you're not fishing.  If I thought you were, I wouldn't make the offer -- I'm not that nice a guy.      

I beg to differ,    :D  on the nice guy part  

Andy I would love nothing better, than to share a       with you again. ANYWHERE   Long as you promise to run another live hog though my sleeping quarters      

And Doc, you are so correct. Those red ones are awesome!

Man oh man what a group this TradGang is. Blown away every time I sign in. Twice, three times daily!  

Woody,
If you come up with a flint fly, I want to be the first to swing it thru that Big Bend Hole on the Cottonwood     Only trouble that there is Catch & Release.  Everything I've seen you knap is deadly      tippit

"come up with a flintknapped fly pattern..."

Would that be a stonefly nymph or a Bernie dun?
Killdeer   :D

It should be a dry fly,no floatant allowed (parachute Adams?)
Cool thread!

How about a three blade knapped head Woody? If anyone could do it I'd put my money on you.

so theres youre answer killy,

A Knife Rifer Stonefly

brilliant

Doc go to his site, and look at the little things sticking in the onion. I do believe he could make you a barbless model     The trick is putting the eye in it   :D

       

Knap a DRY FLY with no floatant???  You people are sick.  Seriously disturbed.  And that's why I like ya.    

I am at a loss of what to call them, stick pins??? They are simple amazing, I am almost glad I do not have one. I would have to wear\\buy a jewelers magnifier, to admire it in detail.   :D

John has the light touch
