I thought I would try at least once more before end of month. Here is another attempt at a Folsom. First flute ran off end in a kinda overshot, second flute ran to tip but not to centered ran 2 more pressure flakes to try an help second flute. Alot of fun but extremly difficult . May try an get a few more attempts before end of month or run out of rocks :(

Hard to follow some of those beautiful Folsoms, but since it's still August and I did knock out a basic triangle this afternoon while my new friend Jack was working in his bow...this is the best I could do for the novice point. It was a little shocking I got anything at all given the way I was breaking preforms with abandon. It was originally better, though it has a step on each side. But, then I botched it when I notched it, stalling a notch right away and then knocked a big chunk off the edge using the punch. Made the other notch match and called it good. It is a good thing the bow making went much better.
