WHAT IS HIGH GRADE STONE?
Anything you can run a 1/2" or more flake with a pressure flaker.
HEAT TREATING:
Heat treat a few FLAKES of everything you got except HIGH GRADE Raw Stone, Obsidian, Dacite, Basalt, Hornstone, Sonora, Fort Payne, or Rhyolite. Start with flakes and spalls less than 1" thick for 200°F for 24 hours to dry it out. Then raise the temp to 275°F and hold for 4 hours. Let cool down for 12 hours. Chip and compare. If no difference, put back I at 200°F for 1/2 hour, then raise to 275 for 1/2 hour, then raise to 325 for 4 hours.
Let cool down for 12 hours. Chip and compare. If no difference, put back in at 200°F for 1/2 hour, then raise to 275 for 1/2 hour, then raise to 325 for 1/2 hour, the raise to 375 for 4 hours.
Repeat with temp going up 50°F until you reach 600°F or nice chippable stone. Whichever comes first. If no good result, or things blow up, let us know.

Looks like a megalodon tooth. I wonder if that was the original inspiration?
That’s what I was thinking too.
Many cacti have sheaths around the spines, that stays in the wound when you pull the spine out. Sometimes you don't know that they are there until the wound starts to fester and that really sucks.
Hmmm
Haha! I just wrote a comment about this. Doesn't matter how small the piece is, it will cause irritation. I have a similar problem, but with a dorsal spine of a porgy. It's been years since it happened and it still hasn't healed.
@@jeltyry Yup, fish and some plants have some sort of inflation causing substance that lingers on and on.
We have a tool in the Ohio area called a Chopper and it looks very much like these. They are often made of basalt and green stones from glacial till. I'm of the opinion that these objects weren't hand held. They were mounted in the fork of a tree, or similarly secured, and the pieces getting work done were moved over the cutting edge. Some collectors call them hoes and celtiforms.
Tanks for the idea of cheater tools. Have never seen you using them before
Perhaps a debarking tool .
Keep an eye on that cactus spine puncture wound. If you feel like there's something left behind, go to the doctor. I had a fish spine go into my thumb and I thought I got it out, but I think there is something left behind. The wound opens and drains itself every once and a while. It's been years and it still hasn't healed. It's painful if I squeeze it. The spine definitely went to the bone or past the bone.
Curious if they were made with a rounded tip or if that’s from use and wear?
It looks like the rounded tip was intentional.
Donny Dust said they were made for processing agave probably these were used for cutting the leaves off tho I believe you when u said they might be used for butchering
They might also be used for punching a hole in the agave core itself and scooping out its sap to make pulque which is a drink from its sap
These work really well for butchering as long as the edge is kept really sharp. Otherwise, I think these are best for fighting.
When I was a kid my family would go to Kerville to the HEB camp houses and us kids would golook for arrowheads and go swimming ,good times.
Interesting
Maybe wedge the claims open but you're right who knows
Interesting to see how tools were made.
Sweet. I'm going to the drag races tomorrow. Tune in Tomorrow evening if you get bored. 😎🏹 been waiting on these vids.
Cool. I live a few miles from Kerrville and have found some of these. Most are more crude and some are nothing more than zig-zagged around halfway or so with a hammerstone and may be nothing more than an unfinished biface. Some show use and edge refinement. I almost stopped by the knap-in but didn't have time, I was part of the group at the fly-in Saturday morning giving demo rides over town and doing low passes across the lake in the bush planes.
Very cool!
You’re so skilled im amazed. I made a bunch of rubble on my first 10#s of flint/chert ,
Thank you
Have you tried using a “Dremel” to grind the step fracture? it could be another cheater tool.
Yes, I used to do that in the beginning. It's faster just to flake it.
Good job jack
