So it痴 not done completely, still got a little shaping to do, gonna take a high spot off and I have to notch it but this piece is turning out nicely

The necklace is either going to one of my good friends depending on how it turned out! Hope you enjoy!!!

Thanks bob! I知 really glad that I知 getting better! These points seem to be getting better and better now that I知 not breaking everything!

I cleared out my dms gut! I値l get some artificial sinew. How do I make a clasp so I can take it on and off without tying a knot every time???

Nice work!  Might try making a wire hook and loop for a clasp, hook about 1 1/2 - 2 times the loop, should hold, or make the necklace long enough to slip over the head.  Got to sort out time to get back to knapping!

Deerhunter 21,
Point looks good. FWIW I have some arrowheads that I collected in north Africa in the Northern Sahara Desert that are eerily similar to the one you have for the necklace. The ones I gathered from there are all small. Large ones are about the size you have there. They are presumably between 5000 to 10000 years old. At least when the Northern Sahara had Ostriches running around, lots of beads from Ostrich egg shells.

Very nice Russell. You did that one proud for sure.

PS I have one that is nearly identical. Except I snapped mine in two.
