Dalton,
I am pleased you didn't say that as a challenge.
lol
You bow is absolutely gorgeous. I can't compete with that with my old eyes.
Jack, see I did read your post on the Otzi thread. Good conversation.
I did a Stanley bifurcate for today.

That's a beautiful point Zuma! Very nice and small!

I made that stuff back when I too could see. I should try some new stuff to see if I still can!

Then I had to re-knap more, since I couldn't find them.

Very nice work Dalton. I don't really have a great place to work on miniatures. Grandkids will be back soon so I wont have time either. One day I will match your set.

String, you know platform is where it's at. I really do depend on them or SNAP.
Glis, I have no idea how they would see them. They would sink when they floated the screened soil. lol

One more one.
I hope it does not become addictive.
I may have to get a magnifying loop to tune this one up proper.

Ok I had to get in on this one. These are about as small as I can go. It is fun and is super challenging!
I might have to work on some more and try to reduce the size a bit.
Mark
P.S. You all have got some jewellers lupes or something. I can hardly see the platform on these and was crosseyed for an hour afterwards.
