Heres a pic of my newest point i made. Its made of some of that flint river stuff I found. It started out as a real blocky piece of rock. I cant even begin to describe how much I learned making this point.
I think the dull brown color takes away from the quality of the point.

Nice point! That flint river is great stuff and finding it yourself just makes it that much better.

Don't be so hard on yourself, I really like that drown stuff and the oint looks great.
Otoe bow, I just drove a flake down through my leg pad and about 1/4" deep in my leg, does that count?

Good looking point. I love the butterscotch color of that Flint River myself, some of my favorite rock to work. If you heat it a little, it will get a lot of red color in it, but I like the raw stuff better for points that will be used. Don't fall into the "calander knapper" trap of only using colorful candy rock, you'll shortchange yourself out of a lot of learning and functionality both.
