If you don't mind me asking, how long does it take you to knap a point like that? It would take me a week to make that batch if I quit working and knapped full time! Lol

I average a point an hour usually. That's three days hard labor right there. That is one pretty point tower made Sasquatch. He is one knappin dude! Matter of fact, I've adopted his notching technique. Can't even remember how I used to do it.
 Thanks everybody! We really don't look like that. That's our fancy night on the boat cruising across the carribian  ::) ;D.

Haha Sasquatch: I know what ya mean. I have pilfered parking lot rocks several times in my life. But here in Illinois it's Buffalo Wild Wings.  ::)

I sent two of their fine parking lot cobbles to cowboy just the other day...

The best landscape flint I have seen as of yet is a place called Tortuga's in Galveston (got a piece) rootbeer'ish. Zuma, all them ten gallons are in the closet for the time being. I'll get back to it :). Wifer made me change that picture btw, last one was kinda skewed anyway ::). She's my rock so I had too ::).

Dang! I bet if I call you to meet me you will answer the phone, now. ;D Congratulations, to you both. That rock looks just like what I hauled out of the corn field south of San Antonio on the way to Laredo when I got voicemail. ;), and decided to "wing it".
