Hey guys, I've been lurking for a while but I thought I'd go ahead and introduce myself.
I've been into primitive archery, survival, etc for about a year now. I've been flintknapping for probably 7-8 months. Anyway here is some of my work(http://[img][img])[/img][/img]

Thanks guys! Here's a few more pics, I was messing with the picture size trying to get them to post.
Also some of you guys might know me from paleoplanet under the same handle

I forgot to mention I only use a hammerstone and antler. If this needs to be moved to the ABO forum (which I just noticed) please feel free to do so

I think you are fine posting here, but I would like to see your ABO tools posted in the ABO section of you can.

the points are looking nice. Good functional pieces.  I would caution against making to heavy of serrations tho. they have been shown to drag wads of hair.

Thanks everyone! I'm glad to be here.
Yes I started on glass, I figured it was free and easy.

Those look above average for a 7 month abo worker. Good job.  Keep posting pics.  I really like the pic and work of those 6 arrows.
