This lithic reproduction of a Snyders Point as used in
the Woodland culture (2,500 - 1,500 BP) 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 not signed or
dated. Length = 77 mm ; Weight = 38 gm
