Thanks for the views stringman.
Can't wait to see what you get out of the colorful present.

Those are some really nice clean notches! And the flutes are awesome! Me and this jig have been going back and forth here, but hand fluting ALWAYS has the same result for me.
I picked up a bunch of petrified wood just a couple miles from rainy buttes ND, didn't find anything that resembled that, purty :)
RickB:
That Rainy Buttes chert is some pretty material. I'm fixing to head up to visit my brother in North Dakota who is going to take me to an area that he's gotten some from before. He's lived there most of his life and knows many ranchers in the area that will let us hunt for rock. Hopefully I'll be able to get some Knife River flint also. Here's a very informative PDF link - the study was done recently. Good info here as to what type of materials the Native Americans used to make points and tools with. Rick B
