One more indirect on a tiny thick spot on the base.

Yeah right before that one that’s where.

Some long, narrow notches would look nice. ;D

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

I was thinking the same thing Eddie. That’s one reason I decided to put it down for now.

That’s a tough thing for me too. Thing with me is I really haven’t had many that were very thin. I’m getting better but it’s slow in coming. The thing I have found is the big difference in flint/chert and obsidian.. It looked good until it didn’t bjrogg. Nice Christmas ornament too.

Thanks Muskyman. I think it’s a pretty normal problem and the finish line moves as we progress. I think you are catching on. Keep pushing and you’ll keep moving the goal line.

Mine too. Sometimes I think I’m getting the hang of it.

Mine too, but I am getting a little better

I picked up the second point and then I just had to keep going. I’m almost done. I think I’m going to put a eye hook and string to hang it from yet
