Ever since I got back from Tenn. I've been on a thinning "kick". I've got a few now, too thin. I have to think about what to do with them. Here's a simple little stemmed point I finished up this afternoon.

I like 'em thin! But sometimes you can get 'em too thin and loose all your convexity.
That blue rock sure is hard to stop hitting ain't it!
-
Yes it is, that's the problem I'm having. I have to go after that last, little, hump. I didn't show the bottom, it took a dive in one spot. Lost that convexity. ::)
-
nice Eddie

-

Nice one Eddie. The real reason he didn't show the other side, is because there isn't one! :o He got it so thin that there is only one side to it !! ::) ;D ;D ;D

Looks like it could put meat in the pot to me.

It's too big for an arrow, it's 2 1/2"x 1 5/8" wide. See if I can find a Mastodon ;D

Looks great Mullet!

that looks good Eddie, I wish I could dig one up that thin. I know you have ofund points before that were made from a flake with only one side worked.
-
Yea, Jeff. I've found them like that and curved. That point has both sides worked the other side is ugly.
