I kept my points in a plastic container but I found this one at hobby lobby.  I bought some cloth and dropped so points in.  What ya think.

Time, dedication, cuts, tons of broken rock, a wife, and perhaps a few girlfriends are some of what it takes in becoming a skilled flint knapper!!!

Hey it would be great if some of you could post pictures of your cases.  I bet we would see some amazing work! I want to show the points that did not make the case.   I made these in dec and jan.  Kinda fun to see the change.

You've come far Pilgrim. Unfortunately my cases are packed up for the big move. Can't wait to see what the others post.

The points in the last picture would look good hafted to some hunting arrows. ;)

 I am sure they would take deer if I could hit a deer  :-[.  This year I hope things are different.   Now that I can make hunting points I don't care if they break when I miss.  I have enough to cover another 19 misses.  :laugh:   I have said it before but thanks again for all the help this year.   You all have made this a lot of fun.  This is a great positive helpful group of fine people on PA. Now let's see those displays.

Hmmm...I used to have a couple cases but I gave them to two of my daughters for their collections.  I need to get more cases...

John -
Nice case - look up Riker Mounts, they are sold by a few places and you can get them in different sizes.

I got a few of those Hobby Lobby Cases... I like em.  :)  I think I paid like 11 or 12 dollars for their large one and 8 dollars for the small one.  Good deal and a great way to display your pieces and keep them from gettin chipped and damaged.  :)
