Really hard to get the camera on my iPhone to take a good pic of the base.
Got a penny for reference.

See I knew you were holding back!!! Cool stuff Jesse..I always agreed with you on the whole jig and pressure theory!! Its totally possible that a jig of bone and wood was made and used..for the nay sayers jigs arent as easy as some may think..it requires equal if not more skill to get everything right and down to a science ..even then stone doesnt always cooperate.  You break a lot of nice preforms to get em right!..Aloha and great work bro. Jesse I stillhave that box of flutes andbroken attempts u sent me years ago for study pieces!...u probably dont remember..lol

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!!!
