I think I'd have more luck shooting the point into the rock without breaking it...than I would doing that.
  Awesome Jamie.
Be thankfull for all you have, because no matter how bad you think it is...it can always be worse.

thanks guys . was hoping i could finish it uptonight but didnt have time. need to dig through my antlers and find something i can make a better punch from anyway. hey shannon , thats crap , if anybody can do this its you.  ;D got a question for you too. any chance you can explain how you  get such good detail in your photos. i could have the best flaking patterns in the world but i cant get em too show up when i take a pic.

No flash, natural light is best.L et the light hit it on an angle. Rotate the piece till it looks right and take lots of shots.  For every one picture you see, I took 10 :-[

 Damn, that's a nice shot.  Oh, sorry Jamie, that is neat as all get out. I want to get home so I can beat some rock. The wife said there is a box of Tallahatta and a box of Obsidian waiting on me. But I'll only have 4 days before I leave for Brazil when I get there.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

That's looking real good Jamie, them are definantly head scratchers :). It's kinda like sculpting. I broke those other three blanks I had worked up yesterday. Each and every one of em had a hidden flaw running through about mid-ways. That's a hellava flake pattern on that one Shannon - beauty!

Awesome stuff! For the time I have been following PA discussion, I have seen several people say something like "Started beating on this rock and found a point in the middle of it."  Your creations put a whole new light on it. Makes it so anyone can see that their is a point in them there rocks.....   but is doesn't make it any easier to get 'em out.  Great work!
