Here is a picture of the point I made displayed on the sacred rock of Annette.  This stone is huge and looks cracked but is it? This point has a great crack right through it but never gave me on problem. I was trying for a stillwell.

That is a good question. Looks like cracks to me, but...   Looks like your doing good things John.

We need to do a lot of teaching with the kids. A lot of them are hungry to learn knapping. Your knapping looks good too. It's nice when old cracks have healed enough that they can be flaked as if they weren't there.
