This lithic reproduction of a Stemmed Point, possibly
Eden, Lackawaxen, Kramer or Bare Island was made by
D.
C. Waldorf from Washburn, Missouri. D.C. is the
author of " The Art of Flintknapping ", a layman's guide
which has sold more than 40,000 copies over the years.
Waldorf is also the publisher of the periodical " Chips ",
the best of the flintknapping journals. A purist, Waldorf
uses only bone, wood, horn, wood & stone tools, viz.
tools the Indians used. Thus, D. C.'s points are not as
refined as Virgil Tonn's points, but they are closer to what
was made by Native Americans. This point is an atlatl dart
or spear point. It is not signed or dated. It was made c.
1980 and was part of D.C.'s personal collection for years.
