October is two days away.
 I would like to nominate Mayan Eccentrics For Octobers challenging POTM.
Try to replicate a old one or come up with a new one.. This should be fun!

Wow, maybe I should start with the easier point of the month  ;D an work my way up. Someone pick the easier point of the month, so we can get lesser experienced guys involved. Jesse, ya got any tips on the eccentrics? should I just get a real thin preform going an then just use my imagination. Thanks Bob

 Exactly Bob :)
 Practice expanding some notches on flakes.  do it with pressure flaker from diffrent angles and also do it with in direct.
 Eccentrics can look like anything, I dont think we need a novice point this month. Eccentrics can be both. They can be the size a thumb nail with some notches up to 14 inch long dragons.
 Lets have fun with this, i cant wait to see what everyone comes up with!
