Thanks bowmo I needed that. Do you mind if I ask what your billet is made of and what you use for tip in your flaker? Man you sure have this figured out. Just beautiful.

bowmo:
Thanks guys.
bjrogg the billet is some kind of river stone that was just shaped that way and the tip of that hand flaker is antler I shapped into a little dowel.
bjrogg:
Thanks bowmo that's what I was guessing. Nice tools. Keep on posting those points.

After watching a couple guys really school some rock with a long antler indirect stick I decided to finally make one and work on my heavy indirect skills. The stick is cane and the antler is a solid all the way thru whitetail tine I strike with the osage billet. Worked better for me than I thought it would. The two points were made incorporating the stick a lot on both.
