january 2012

What a great way to start the year, a fistful of Edens, made by Steve Behrnes and Woody Blackwell.

february 2012

We thought we'd do something a little different this month, using selective color, bringing attention to that amazing Adena in the center of all her Adena cousins.

march 2012

Graham Cave in Danville, Missouri, is the home of this early archaic point style, distinguished by an auriculate base and side notches. The photographer and I kept calling this our concentration camp theme...for some odd reason.

Featured artists include Marty Rueter, Jeff Gower and JIm Redfearn.

april

I just love this shot of Scottsbluff points, made by Gene Stapleton, Drew Ellison and Jim Redfearn. That green leaf is so rich!

may 2012

This is probably one of my favorite shots of all times. A group of beautiful Hardins made by Jeff Gower and Marty Rueder, set on a 100 year old distressed table. I'd hoped to shoot this on a red background but I'm 100% satisfied with the blue.

june 2012

The Calf Creek, what an unusual point. Once thought to be knives that myth was blown away after a Calf Creek was found buried deep inside the skull of an ancient bison, showing that at least in that instance it also served as a projectile. Some say the deep notches were a sign of a knappers expertise, having no other distinguishable value other than that. Artists featured, Jim Redfearn, Jeff Gower and Bob Thomas.

july 2012

Flint Ridge, without a doubt some of the worlds most amazing lithic material. This museumesque shot features the talents of Mike Santiago, Carl Smith, DC Waldorf and Roy Miller. Check out the brachiopod on DC point! Pretty cool to say the least.

august 2012

Drawn from the hills of southern Tennessee is a wonderful material of the Ft. Payne formation, Buffalo River chert. Drew Ellison, Jack McComak and Jm Spears did a wonderful job capturing the swirls, fingerprints and textures of this great material.

september

The most ancient of North American point styles, the Clovis point rests magestically on a 10,000 year old mastadon tooth. Tell me this shot wouldn't feel right at home in the Smithsonian. Points featured made by Dan Theus and Steve Behrnes.

october 2012

Daltons, one of my favorite point styles. Wickedly serrated, elegant in form, and highly collectible. Shown are the handicrafts of Steve Behrnes, Bob Thomas, Jim Spears, and Jeff Gower.

november 2012

Sentinels of a rusty world, these two Osceola points made from Bowling Green Burlington are as good as they come, thanks to Jeff Gower's amazing talents.

december 2012

Of course, with the Mayan calendar claiming the end of the world on December 21, 2012 we felt it only right to honor the Mayans with a few eccentrics, something they were quite fond of. These are made by Ed Mosher and Virgil Tonn. I couldn't think of a better way to end the month.

woody blackwell dvd

If you're interested in learning the art of the ancients, this is the dvd that will started down that road. If you're already knapping, this is the one that will take you to the next level. Woody Blackwell, perhaps the finest flintknapper of our time, and perhaps history, teaches the knapping process from rock selection through fracture mechanics and finishes off with a virtuoso performance making an outstanding Dovetail. This video is professionally shot and edited and includes many close ups and detail of the nuances of this craft. A must have for every knapper's library.

$29.95 + $6 shipping.
