I started these two at Pappys last weekend but just finished them today. I love how that Flint ridge shows the flake scars.

     Dang!  That is sweet!  Did you ever do anything with the piece of coral I sent you?  And the obsidian?  I was waiting to see what kind of piece of art you could do with that.  Sheesh!  Next thing you know you will be showing us the diamond you knapped with a toothpick!  You really should go to the Monastery, it will help you relax, and not have to keep trying to move up another notch in knapping, and trying to do better than your last post, and so forth,........ also it will be very relaxing for the rest of us, especially those like myself who are rock enhancing technically challenged., so to speak. ::)  Ok,ok,ok, "rubble makers" :(
     Those are sweet! And Tower you might want to go to the Monastery with him! >:(  That piece of rock, that you had "trouble" thinning!  Sheesh!  What you couldn't see through it?!!  You guys are something else.  Incredible stuff you are bringing out.  Great work.
