Shannon...if the Native Americans  made Points that all looked like that....They would have Starved to Death...because they would have all been looking at them hanging on the Wigwam...and Teepee walls...instead of taking a chance to break one shooting it at and Elk or Bison...... ;D

One Awesome Point my Friend

What! No bugging me about it being a "Pine tree" :o
  Thank you all. I'm really proud of this one.
 Billy, the best answer I can give is "convexity".  That's what allows a flake to travel and stop cleanly.  I spend the better part of making one of those things just building convexity in preperation for that last series of flakes. O

Shannon... I could knap for a thousand years and never come up with anything as good as one of your waste flakes... Great work on that pine tree, looks stunning my friend!   :)
