Yes Sir! That looks great. My mother N law wants one from red glass and it has turned out to be very difficult to make a cross that is symetrical with smooth flake scars. I thought it would be easy at first, but have changed my mind. Good strong red glass has been elusive too, all I've gotten has been rather brittle to work with.
You really took care of all the details on that one. Thanks for showing it and inspiring me to get back to trying to make one myself. Terry

Very Nice work...You amaze Me with Your skill...Any chance of a Star of David???...LOL
-
Thanks for all the kind words guys ! 1442 glad I could help, I would think red ridge would work better than glass, I know I would rather use flint since I really dislike knapping glass and Obs it just breaks too easy! @ Mohawk, a star of David...easy as pie ! ;D
Heres another'un I cranked out today...more ridge not as red
Take care guys !

Very nice work. I have never made one of those, but I am feeling inspired after seeing yours.
-
thats amazing man i love it.
-
Ed, that is some kind of notch work. Fantastic!
-
Elijah - Glass and obs only break to easy cause you are so used to working flint! I use obs most of the time and find that working flint is really hard on my wrists. So I guess it's 6 of one half a dozen of the other! In any event, I think I will keep calling you "cookie cutter" for those beautiful points. Nice crosses too! Come visit me in Yosemite when you get back home.

Man, I don't have the first clue about flintknapping other than watching a few youtube videos, but I'd love to just pull up a stool and watch you go to work on something like that. Your work is ridiculous, man! Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful work Elijah.
