 I'd like to stick something with that first one, Bubby. Nothing better than making meat with a fancy point. ;D

I think you need to knap in a well ventilated area. Toooo much silica dust, its affecting your judgement. BECAUSE those are perfect! Two fine looking points, way to knap-em!

I hope cooking it slicked it up enough for ya. It can be quite maddening otherwise. Hit on some of that Gtown for starters, it's butter compared to that perd :).

I don't see how you do so much Purdy work with obsidian and still manage to keep your flesh in one piece!  I usually wind up with half my fingers wrapped up with paper towels and electrical tape.  Very nice work Bubby!  Josh
