Been doing a little knapping since the heat wave finally passed. Hornstone and translucent obsidian (?) Thanks for looking!

Those all look great to me.  Pretty color on that obsidian.

Looking good to me Tracy! I'm gonna have to make a hornestone run and get a tune up  :).

Some good looking points. How does that hornstone knap?

Thanks again guys! Funny thing Paul, I just got some TX chert(beige/grey) and love the sharpness and toughness of it, but I got to hit it a lot harder than the hornstone. Tower, the hornstone is pretty smooth to work.

I agree about that TX rock.  I am almost too "yellow wristed" (someone used that term before :P) for that rock.  It sure is pretty though!!!  Gotta do another run myself Paul >:D
