another from tonight, and another from bowmo:

she's pretty:


there's a point in there somewhere:


broken down:


flip side:


finished up:


side two:


blury thickness (but it's clear that i need new shoes):


thickness; the tip could use some pressure flaking:


this rock is tough.

i dropped the point twice on the concrete floor and it didn't break; only from a foot off of the floor though, but still.

it emits a high-pitch sound like glass when it lands.

Tower:
Great looking points.  I like the picture progress.   

le0n:
^^ thanks, man.

it means a lot coming from you.

i marvel at your work on my computer screen, however, i actually had the opportunity to handle a few of your hunting points the other day. so many questions, hah hah.

le0n:
this keokuk flake has been sitting on my desk for quite sometime now. i was always afraid to break it and or not being able to preserve the "focal point", so i left it at work where i wouldn't touch it.





it came home in my pocket today.

started into it:


the inclusion area was going to be trouble:



another sample of me supporting the ridge:





good grief, hah hah:


successful step cleaning flake from the other side:


shaped it a little more until i was left with this (ready for pressure flaking):




speaking of "ready for pressure flaking", here are all of the preforms that i've done with this indirect tine method:


all of these (aside from tonight's keokuk) are from the box that bowmo gifted to me. thanks again, man :)

nclonghunter:
That's odd, arent they suppose to be broken at that stage... >:D
