Below you will find the points I have currently in stock. As pieces are sold the list will immediately change, so be sure to check back often. If  you see something you like, take note of the serial number and e-mail me at rocky1@arkansas.net or call 417-546-5125 between 12 and 6 Central Standard time to reserve it for seven days and receive instruction on payment and shipping.  If there is something you would like custom made that is not on the list, please inquire at the address above. Delays in response may be due to the few short trips I make a year. In the unlikely event that two people want the same point, the individual who contacts me first will be the one who has it reserved. Though there might be only a few minutes between yours and his, if you're first -you get it.

   Most all of the pieces shown below are nearly flawless and the scar patterns are correct for the type. If there is a minor flaw in the material or workmanship it will be noted. These pieces are permanently marked using an electric vibrating engraver with the initials  DCW or W followed by the year date and serial number for that year on the larger pieces.

The super Paleo and Early Archaic points I have been posting on this page have not been lasting long [gone in 2 hours this time!] however there is still some wonderful stuff on the other pages and will be putting up more soon, so go back up to the top bar and click on them and see the rest of what there is!

10-256 Clovis point made from Reeds Spring chert. This classic point is made from high grade material that is reminiscent of some ball cherts from farther north and east. If the Clovis people had entered the Ozark region they would have favored this stone as well. The point has a relatively thin cross section with a single, broad flute on the show face that is 1/2 the length of the point, the other face has three flutes, the longest running 2/3.  I liked this piece when I made it and am loathed to part with it! Length, almost 4 inches.  Price $100. SOLD

10-260 Clovis point made from rare, black marbled Novaculite.  The flute on the show face is over 1/2 the length of the point, the other is about 1/3. Not only is this a great point but a wonderful mineral specimen as well! Length, almost 3 1/2 inches.  Price $80. SOLD
10-269 Ozark Beveled Base Dalton point made from ruff Crescent Burlington chert. This a unique regional variant in which the stem edges are beveled to the opposite faces and then heavily ground like other Daltons. The beveling on the blade is opposite that on the stem.  Length, 4 1/2 inches. Price, $35. RESERVED
10-254 Ozark Beveled Base Dalton point made from Boone chert a variety of Reeds Spring. This is a  unique regional variant in which the stem edges are beveled to the opposite faces and then heavily ground like other Daltons. The beveling on the blade is opposite that on the stem. Length, 3 inches. Price, $25. SOLD
10-220 Dovetail point made from rare, black marbled Novaculite. This point is of the "wide base" style. A super piece with super color. Length, 4 3/16 inches. Price, $70. SOLD
10-257 Lost Lake point made from rare, black marbled Novaculite. This is a supper, big piece with a full, un-beveled blade and great color!  Length, 4 7/8 inches. Price, $85. SOLD
10-261 Thebes point made from rare, pink Novaculite. This supper, big piece has a full, un-beveled blade and the color is pinker than in the scan!  Length, 4 3/8 inches. Price, $65. SOLD
10-259 Large Kirk Corner Notch point made from rare, moss Novaculite. Due to questions about the structural integrity of the piece I left it a little heavier in the blade, but no thicker than a good prehistoric knapper would have under the same circumstances. Any way, the color is outrageous!    Length, 3 11/16 inches. Price, $35. SOLD
10-258 Hardin point made from heat treated Peoria chert. A nice representative of the type, though most were made from Burlington chert. Length, 4 3/16 inches. Price, $40. SOLD
10-247 Fancy Calf Creek made from heat treated Burlington chert. This is a nice specimen with a little flair!  Length, 3 inches. Price, $35. SOLD
