How many year have you been at it?  I hope one day to make some points half as nice.

Haha, you guys are going to make my head swell up - hope I can get that hat on ::). Well, it's still cold out there, both trucks are dead and the power is out. I may have to cave man it again today ;D.

Have you got the same rolling blackouts we're getting in DFW today?  Last one happened just after I got my servers powered back up and on-line.  Good grief.  If it does it again I'm going to man cave it too.  Should've stayed home.  ::)

I've been at it somewhere around six, seven, maybe eight years? Pretty much took the last couple of years off..
Yup, George. Power is on and off this am - mostly off. Had time to make about half a cup of coffee :(. Your over around Lake Lavon area? We're probably not 50 miles apart..

Dang Cowboy , that is just amazing. It'd take me half a day to make a point like that short obsidian point,much less so many. You gotta skill for sure. What rock is the gray stuff ?  All Beautiful work  '  Frank

Thanks Frank! That's Georgetown blue, don't know why they call it blue cause it mostly is gray but works great. You should have a box of it on your doorstep pronto :).

Beautiful work!  If I quit when I broke one, I'd probably never get a point made...  :'(  I might have to try that method though - at least the finished ones would be the size of yours instead of bird points.   ::)
