VERY nice. You have good reason to have some confidence.
Bowmakers are a little bent, but knappers are just plain flaky.

Just now saw this one Lee. I may have to come back up there and take some lessons from you. That's a keeper for sure.
When you come upon a track or trail you do not know, follow it to the point of knowing.
