Looks nice Tim ;) Don't get too caught up by the size thing.  I have a real one in my collection that's only about 2.5"
 So...Was that book worth what you paid for it?
 The first one I had, I couldn't put it down.
Be thankfull for all you have, because no matter how bad you think it is...it can always be worse.

shannon,  ya i think the book was worth the price.i too cant seem to get enough of looking thru it.
theres sooooo many points/blades in there to look at.
i really need to take it with me into my kanpping area.only problem is wheni look thru it i can never decide what to try and make.
its become such a habit to just start breaking the rock and make them up i as i go.never realy had a plan to make any certain type
they just sorta happen.
when i was making this one,i kept looking at hte spall and doing more work and had reduced it down some before i had any idea what i was gonna make from it
and it just happened.

jesse, i doubt they will get much bigger for awhile. i dont have any spalls bigger than the one this came from.
but then again there is a knapp in next month.and i know someone will have rock for sale ;D

so am i crazy,or does anyone else see the turkey track in it too?

Test yourself.  Pick a point type before you start, and don't settle for anything less than that.

     Well Tim, I had to look, but I do believe I can see what you are talking about.  They do sort of look like teeny little turkey tracks.....Ooooohhhh, big medicine! :o  take this blade with you the next time you go out turkey hunting! ;)
