Nice points ! I recognize the mahogany right off, the other is some really pretty stuff. Yeah, punkin is just more mahogany,but without the black. I've got some that is almost punkin,but has big black polka dots in it.( Dalmatian obsidian ? Ha ! ) You go down there and you see everything and stuff you have never seen.
Those points look ready to bind on. Good work  '  Frank
