Jamie, i like that wintu style point
i was gonna give one of them a try tonight myself  ;D

great job jamie!  Those Wintu's are a real hard point to do, especially when you start to turn the notches upward.  I always get too big of a flake and it wipes out the part that makes them look upturned.  Then they just look like a deep side notch!

Nothing at all wrong with those, nice work. On those Wintu/Ishi points, I usually get one side notched perfect, then pop the whole ear off the other side taking that "one more little flake" trying to make it look perfect.

thanks guys. yeah tracy it was abo. except when the shoulders of the notches rounded. i broke out  copper to see if i could pry a little more off. made myself stop though because i knew i was gonna break it like hillbilly said.

Like Pappy said ;D.....I may just be ignorant but I'd strap either one to one my flying telephone poles, and put it clean through some poor-unsuspecting Michigan whitetail....I think they are just beautifull.
