just trying out dewaines theory. A frame, what do ya'll think.

i guess it helps to put pic in.

Beautiful, Bro!! Great frame, and best Marcos blade I ever saw!!

love the drill!

Beautiful, but I'm partial to black backrounds

Here's what others are doing outside of TX..
This displayer lets it all hangout



And another shows all, the good the bad and the ugly.

Very nice. I may need to take another look at my "A" box. Sure was fun this past week, but I am having a hard time walking from all the digging.

my collection sucks flint porn is mean lol

looks like you added a new killer point to your collection.bottom right, white with brown tip. did i miss a posting of a new find.

V good show Nate,

Here's a pic of a displayer's case with all G11's, packed so tight they were overlapping ( look close, some do )



I assume the owner just couldn't afford to buy more cases to keep up with his finds

This is my only frame. Got a few brokes, more than a few uglies, and the two on each bottom corner I knapped.




CJ

Nate that frame rocks!!!!!!!! When are you taken off? Sure was hopping to see you at the Hog Digg.

Then there are points that are treasures all by themselves like the Mona Lisa ..



Or maybe the owner just has enough money to afford one to a case ...These are the personal collection of the Collinsville show manager.




Took some moving around but I got a pic of me holding this gorgeous Hardin ( you might have to rock your PC monitor around bit to see me ! )

Rearranged my case to day, need some new cases

beautifull!!
what is that in the first case in the circle of blades center left, left of the drill and below the langtry.

That's a castroville eccentric I dug last year. It has the sides rechipped into 4 points that look kinda like gravers. Showed it to lots of folks at fredricksburg last year and No-one could tell me anything about it.

AHA ....FINALLY......I knew it had to happen
For a year we have seen a little dirty hand holding some dirty points saying " look what I found today "

Well now we see that all the good ones are washed and properly displayed. A very nice collection

This frame thread has shown a lot of interest in nice points and how to display them...For those that are still working on arrangements for their finds..here's some thoughts that could be considered..

Only for the handy or not mentally challenged, checkout the PICTURE FRAMES at your local thrift store.. Some can be really beautiful and for just a few bucks. The handy comes in because you have to handmake a very shallow box that screws on the back of the picture frame. ( this presentation is best for
complete collections where the "case " doesn't have to be continuously opened.)

Backround materials are more visible than any frame..Experiment with what you like. Retail stores like "Cloth World " has a huge selection to choose from. Here's one not for every one but the effect is knock out
Make a cardboard copy of the point you want to highlight. Tape it ( tape doubled over to hold it in place ) then with any color spray paint can carefully
spray over the icon. Say black paint on a red cloth.
Lightly replace the fake cardboard with the real point.
Just try it on a junk piece of cloth ( PS : be arty, dont paint black on black or red on red etc,, ...)

Under another recent " Frames" posting, Pat has made a beautiful, deep welled coffee table with select
artifacts....Anyone wanting to up the unique level, I suggest you create the same thing but line the inside with glass and seal the edges with silicon.
Imagine the joy of seeing FISH swimming over your collection

Tuck, again your collection is fabulous. I have one very bad criticism though that I wouldn't dare air without your written consent.

If you can handle the agravation RSVP...If not it's no big deal

I went way way back in the archives and found the pic I had done of the spray can tests..



It really works well on the Gorgets where the very white one is on a black field and the Dark one on the lighter red.

To add to SH's input...
Craft stores, like Hobby Lobby, Micheal's, etc. have nice shadow boxes that make good display pieces, IMO.

man this a good thread!

Ugh y'all are making me sick with all this badass flint, Tucker I'm jealous of all those montells and Hal that case with all the overlaps.....all I can do is sit here in silence and shake my head and the Mona Lisa point....I think I need to change my britches just kidding!

Sh I'm eady to hear it.

Lol the whole pic is upside down actually. (look the clips are on the bottom.)
