Good lookin' points, Jesse.

I have a love/hate going on with Flint Ridge.  I love the look of it, but hate the way I destroy it.  You did that piece of rock justice.

If I could get a notch like those, I would be happy. So needless to say, I would leave them like they are... they look great! man, I cannot believe how far you got those flutes to run. Looks like they almost ran the whole length of the point. Awesome, Awsome, Awsome...
