Re working points

[Outbackbob48]

Has anybody went thru there early years points an tryed to work down the bigger ones. I have a bunch of oversized football points an thought about trying to thin an maybe produce a thinner smaller point. Or should I just give my footballs to the kids an move on to new points. Just curious what everybody did with all of there early stuff. Thanks Bob

Jesse, Most knappers would have been real happy to get the first  point, but I have to agree the second just looks  better. Thanks for posting the pics. Bob

Hey Bob and Jesse ...wow I never made points that big starting out!  But yeah reworking them is a great way to go back and make some of them look real nice.  Again its like remember how much great rock u busted along the way...I am almost ashamed! Bob u going o Bald eagle or Letchworth???
