You will learn new words, which your parents will not allow you to speak in polite society, and you will be buying bandaids, and super glue. Looks like you are well on your way. Much better than what my first one looked like. Mine looked like a chunk of rock with a point. :o Well in fact they still do. ::) If you can find a knapper in your area, or go to a knapp in, you will learn soooo much, and much faster, than just on your own. Keep at it, and I look forward to seeing more. Just don't get hung up on making pine trees, like a certain smarty pants, on here. :P Thanks for showing your work.

Post by: brownhillboy on June 25, 2010, 02:50:33 pm: Nice job Kolton, and thanks to all you guys for the encouraging words you have given him. Kolton is my oldest son and I'm proud to say that not only is he interested in archery and hunting, but he's plum eat up with it! He should be very knowledgable and talented before he reaches the age that I even knew anything about primitive archery. Good work son! :)
