 Those are some great points, everybody. Roger, that Arredondo is dead on. I've been too busy getting ready for hunting season, I got to sit down and chip some. Dang, I'm starting to sound like Tiller ;).

Outback,you got that thing perty thin! If you learn to push in with pressure more,(toward the center of the point) then you will learn that your flakes will travel farther and you can clean some of those area up. Give it time, it will come.

Bob, I get most of my hinges/steps when I don't pay attention to how well my platform is ground. Good platforms well below center seems to get the flakes traveling farther for me.  Also, I can't get away with using a very sharp pressure flaker either. ???

Here are a couple of my Hernando points I did over July 4th.   These started from nodules we collected at Glass Buttes.   Had surgery on the ankle to remove screw, yesterday.  Now its sore and swollen again.  However,  it is another step towards recovery.

Here are my attempts at an Arredondo.   I have never seen these or tried to make one.   I am not to sure about correct size.   I've only seen the photos posted here.  These are both from Glass Buttes Obsidian and about 2 inches long.   I like the Mahogany one.
