Matched set of Gunther Barbed points...
« on: January 27, 2014, 03:19:59 am »
Heres my latest set of points, and most challenging to date. These are all within 5 grains of 65gr. They are all made from various Texas rocks with exception of the the orange one being heat treated Flint Ridge. These all came from small spalls two were from big flakes. Now...what to do with em?

Hope ya'll enjoy Lookin at them as much as I enjoyed making them !

Most impressive! Your skills and talent are certainly showcased in this set. There's always someone looking for points on the trading section.You never know what someone might offer up for those beauties!

Thought about posting these in the trading post section but doubt that I could get my money's worth out of them. These took so much work and I broke a couple on the way. If I did trade it would have to be something pretty good otherwise ill just hang on to them.

Elijah I think they would look sweet right in the middle of a case the way you have them in a circle.
