Awesome point.  I hope you guys are going to demonstrate your notch punching techniques at the classic. I really look forward to seeing you pros busting some rock!

That looks great, Jesse. What few of those I've made, I usually wind up popping an ear off one side just when it's almost finished.

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.

Beautiful Point. Great Job!
I love cabbing Brazilian agate. It's super hard and
you can do about whatever you want with it.
I'd have to hold on to that one until I finished another one like it,
and I, for one, would sure like to see it. ;D
I've got a bunch of that material, rough nodules or slabs, so give me a shout
if you need any. It's hard to imagine spalling one of those nodules,( I've never tried),
so I'm guessing you started with a slab.

 You're right, Joe. That is some hard rock, but it is like butter when it's heat treated.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?
