Hey ya'll here's a set I have been working on over the last couple weeks. These are made to go with that last set of Gunthers I made a while back. Let me tell ya these were twice as hard for me to make as those, and I messed up more in the process than I care to admit. Working that notch way up in behind the barb was the tough part. On a couple I got almost completely done and snapped the tip of the barb off making the point unsuitable for the set. Talk about the pucker factor putting the serrations on those thin barbs !

These will go in the case RB Lusthaus posted in "around the campfire" I cant wait to show you guys bots sets of Gunthers in that baby!

Material is: Georgetown, Keokuk, Burlington and Flint Ridge.

Ya'll take care !

     Like Mullet said, you suck! :o  Sheesh, why do you even bother to post such things as that. ???  You need to practice first >:(.
Your points are far too symmetrical, the serrations are too even, and the barbs, are too rounded.  Not to mention the points all look alike. :P  You really need to think about these things before you post. >:(  Now package those pieces of junk up, and send them to me, and I will show them as examples of what not to do. >:(  Then I will dig through my gravel pit, and show you what you should be posting.  I see I will have to see if I can contact the Monastery, in Bulgaria, and see if they have room for you.  Oh, don't worry, there are bunks reserved for others on here also.  Just think of the fine brandy, you will learn to make, and the almond marzipan candy, and such as that.  So much more relaxing, than beating on a piece of junk rock! ::) :P :P
Dang, you need to slow down, and find another way of stress relief! :o  You know like defusing IED's and such.  Dang, boy those are absolutely amazing!! :o :o 8)  I hope to meet you some day, at Eddie's, and we can drink Eddie's beer, and eat his food, and you can try to show me how in the world you can do that! ;)  You are definitely the guru of knappers, like those Texican boys, and the Poor soul who has to endure Hawaii. and others on here.  Thanks for showing those.  And thanks for making me feel totally inadequate! Keep your head down, and don't kick any Camel turds! ;)
