Don't know why but I love those from blue glass best. And this is an extraordinaryly nice one!
Would love to make a set from Dogwood shafts footed with purpleheart and Makao fletching. Since I don't knap I might offer a trade some day.

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!!!

  Try older glass it tempered some what. I still stop at every old dump I wander apond. Seam that alot of glas by then was 3/16 to a quarter. With the older glass you can run flakes.
  That still a SWEETTTTTTTTTTT point.
