    I work off of a Lap board also.... One thing i do different when making a Hardin point is i work the base first... It gives you much more room to work the upswing on the notches... Dont like working in tight spaces... easy to break a barb off.... Nice save.... good lookin point.. 👍

    Because of the red color, it appears that the stone has undergone some changes because of a heating process. I have also seen some pieces of metamorphic stone that have melted dripping on the surface of the stone. I am not familiar with the story regarding the area where you found this particular piece of stone. However, an impact area of a meteor is a spot that would have certain well defined characteristics to have even been definable. As in crater impact shape. Otherwise, it would not be probable as a cause of melting. I am a smart old guy with a lot of experience. I do see what you’re pointing out, just trying to help you sort through the geology in the area you found the rock.

    G'day new to napping myself, I heard filling a copper tip is not good. better to hammer it, hardening the point instead of drawing the copper apart with a file. Also is there a difference in using say a nail or other metals?

    Yo Brad hope you’re doing well. I was watching your Miller video and I heard you say that napping this type of flint you thought helped you sell a lot of your points. My opinion of that is the colors probably caught those peoples eye and then noticed the really nice work and the pieces you create. Iv watched several of your videos and I want to say that it’s not just the colors brother. You make some beautiful points and you also put a lot of effort into explaining how to do so as well. I have learned quite a bit about napping from watching and listening to you. I personally wish there were more people that appreciates this ability, this gift if you will to buy everything we can produce. This tradition needs to be taught to anyone willing to learn how. Great work brother you’re doing more than learning to flint nap. I hope you can sell everything you make. Rock on Brad!

    Hello Brad I ordered a big box of rock from you last fall it was limestone. There is a lot of small unusable pieces in it the nodules were very small were very small,a lot of freezer cracks and inclusions I would like to order another batch of rock from I payed you 160 for that box. 2 weeks later you sold the same boxes for $80 I felt like I was scammed I would like to order another box of rocks and hope you will make it right this time your friend Patrick I don't know what website you're on Gmail Yahoo I have no idea

    Very nice example of a crowfield point. Here in southeast Michigan we call this clovis type: Holcomb points. They were name after the Holcomb Beach site, one of Michigan's first discovered clovis sites. The site was discovered in the 1960s and has a middle school built on it now. This site was caribou hunting campsite along the beach of glacial lake Clinton. The current day Clinton River ended up draining lake Clinton and this lake went dry. This site is 10,000 years old at least. Hope all folks enjoy this info. I've only found broken bases of these points on paleo campsites where they discarded them for new complete points. Enjoy Ralph.
