That is definitely not too shabby.  Did you use antler for your pressure flaking? 

Good point Paul!

that is a mix of copper and tine....I went so far as using some of that wire you gave me to do the notching as I was feeling too lazy to get up and put a tine on the grinder to get it narrowed again.  P

Lookin good man. I'd certainly be glad if I found one that looked like that. Looks like you got some nice stone to work with too which is half the battle.

I seem to be able to make flakes for turning into points but can't make a biface to save my life....P

Nice!  Brings up the question, which comes first - flake or biface!  Flakes, I got - know few, too!  Biface, another challenge!  Got to study up on that!
