Giant Side Notch On our CNC

[Trask]

Jeff's idea...Thought it would be fun to make something different to hang in the artifact room.

This is 3cm Soapstone for a trial as it's very easy to work. It is scored for the final step " knapping" with a chisel to give it a flaked look.. We'll see by the end of the day what becomes of it

Now if we can find a big slab of Obsidian!

Looks just like a broke one I found last weekend. Mine is a hair smaller though.

This is the one I wanted to reproduce from the base But he elected to stay simple for a first run.

That's just the second one of those types of side notchers I've seen. Too big to be an arrowpoint and too small to be a dart point. Not to mention the extremely long ears. I bet your piece and this one came from the same area, maybe even the same valley.

Well Trask, this clearly is gonna be a spear point.....or.....are you gonna reproduce the worlds largest bow and arrow?......Monty Python comes to mind.....that's pretty cool!!!

"In-situ"

[Old Stones]

Lmao, I love the in-situ. A point from a very advanced culture, or not

Business must be slow...lol

[Trask]

We've always done goofy stuff just for the sake of doing it regardless of the work load...But yes we are slow
Artifact hunting has been up though
