Looks good for a first point. Keep at it. Wish my first one looked that good.

 Well, you did a darn good job. One of my first points was from TV glass. You are on the way, now.

Lookin' good!   Make sure you keep that point to gauge your skill level as you improve.  Sometime in the future you will be amazed at how far you've come.  That's a lot better than my first.

Here is another one I  just finished. It took a whole tv screen to get these two. I am having a hard time thinning the 1/2 inch glass.
Thank you all for the kind words. If any one has any suggestions please feel free to  comment.

Ah ha! there it is. I was wondering when you were going to get that posted. Looks good. By the way I think I can get us some good Oregon obsidian to play with.

can anyone put some pictures of some good hunting points so I can see how long and wide they need to be?  I got 2 more tv screens and a cousin is sending me some obsidian from Oregon. Is there a certain type of point that is made from obsidian?
