This works so well, I just had to show it. Burlington Clovis I struck free hand. Darn near a dead ringer for the over street photo.

Perfect!!!!!  That's a beautiful point.
Did you happen to get a pic of the nipple from the bottom end?

That is indeed a great job. Those flutes look like percussion flutes. Did you use direct percussion? I've realized by looking at a lot of percussion fluted points that the terminal end of the flute scar on them often is thicker, or slightly hinged if you prefer, than those flutes done with jigs and pressure.

Regardless, that's one to be proud of making.

Yes it was percussion. I just started the stove in the workshop so I'm gonna try to get out there after awhile to make another. If so, I will try to document it a little better.

Took some pics this time.




Both flutes were successful, but the overall point isn't quite as nice.
