Patrick: I don't know how you can sit around and make all this tiny little stuff. I was going to make a bunch but could only muster one - like to have drove me insane ;D. Oh welll, I guess somebody that can turn out them perfect sinew bowstrings like you do has all the paitience in the world ;).

Paul, the small stuff has been a challenge but bigger points seem easier now after a year of concentrating on bird points.  I'm working on SUPER narrow notching right now and I think I'll quit with the small stuff soon.  I'm gettin' a bad case of knappers' cramp.  ;D

Oh yeah, cool point!  You have some of the best material.  Is that glass?

Hey Patrick: looking at your points inspired me to try one of those things. Man, you've gotten good! That is Fenton slag glass, all kinds of colors :). I think I'll try some thinner and some of that narrow entry notching. Will find out how nervous I am ;D.

Uh-oh...  you're a glutton for punishment!   :D

Just a note:  Glass is too soft and brittle for me... and raw stone is too hard for good notching.  I prefer the cooked Texas stone or high grade raw rootbeer.  Georgetown is great too if you can get the clear stuff without the concrete.

Have fun!  ;D

     Ok, I have been seeing these things on here, and have come to conclusion, that I will have to make a call to the Monastery in Bulgaria, where I have Shannon, and Jamie booked for five years, and reserve a place for you also. ::)

     Sheesh!  Those are incredible. :o  Ishi would be Proud! ;)
