That has to be the highest complement I have ever received. I got my hands muddy searching through the pit looking for a rock with just the right amount of silica and sand to use as a file to abraid each notch on the edge so that it would be stiff enough to handle the pressure flaking for the otherside.

Thanks bubby I have only made a couple what I would consider ok pinetree points and this is one of them. I always admired the copper knapped pinetree but could never really figure out how to do all of those running flake in the notches until last week when I was notching a bunch of points. So for three long hours the other day I took my time and just put my mine to it. The key for me was the abraiding stone shape.
