Purty points John but I'm kinda partial to them flowers. Lol. Some fine work there.
When you come upon a track or trail you do not know, follow it to the point of knowing.

Killer work John.
 Those are impressive pressure flakes for using antler.
Keep up the good work!

Thanks guys the ABO knapping has gotten much easier after a year and a half. Jessie thanks for the comment on the pressure flaking. A really good knapper (last name Smith) explained a modification to my technique that I used on those two points that I believe really helped. On the red one reduction was really fun because the stone was a puzzle and every flake removed was isolated...took for ever...thanks for looking.
