I was going to say the same, put them on a stick and stick something. That Ryolite is tough and strong.

Looks good to me and to be quite honest I got a doe with the arrows u sent me awhile back!  They work plain and simple!  It takes a lot of frustration and broken rock till you either figure it out or get to a knapp in and watch how they do it!  I love it and again to be honest it was the arrows u sent that inspired me to get cracking on knappin flint!  Thanks Ken!!!
