great job jamie!  Those Wintu's are a real hard point to do, especially when you start to turn the notches upward.  I always get too big of a flake and it wipes out the part that makes them look upturned.  Then they just look like a deep side notch!

Nothing at all wrong with those, nice work. On those Wintu/Ishi points, I usually get one side notched perfect, then pop the whole ear off the other side taking that "one more little flake" trying to make it look perfect.

Like Pappy said ;D.....I may just be ignorant but I'd strap either one to one my flying telephone poles, and put it clean through some poor-unsuspecting Michigan whitetail....I think they are just beautifull.
