Point of The Month - Sticky
Dakota Kid:
No problem Zuma. Sometimes the written word falls short and can be easily misinterpreted.
I wasn't trying to get on anyones case or otherwise seem impatient. With my skill level it may take me a full month to get a good one depending on the style. :laugh:

You are tops with me Dakota
This is what I was getting at. We should have less difficult points for our newer knappers :KN
Just one man's opinion. Perhaps two points could be done each month. One for the skilled and one for
folks that want to get their feet wet.

I kinda like this one Zuma, I like the challenge and same as Dakota I don't have any pictures or books so I don't know the names but I like trying to make them. I'd be a lot more scared of those deep
Notch ones but I'm ready to try em. If someone wants to put a second point up though I think that's great, I'm just kinda glad someone put up one.

Dakota Kid:
We just did an easier style point last month, so it seems fair. I don't mind a challenge. Every failure is one step closer to a success. After all you never know if you can unless you make an attempt.
I don't think we need two styles of points each month, but a beginners version of the more difficult ones might be nice. Usually when dealing with artifacts that's the kind of thing you see anyway. Often I see points referred to as a crude version of a ______. The crude version has less defined notches and is thicker and less symmetrical, that sort of thing.
Once I get the name of the point for the month, I google it until I find an example that looks like something I can handle. That is if the one posted here looks overwhelming.
