You have been knocking them out of the park :)
Are your flutes (very Clovis) percussion?
What is your method? ???

Thanks y'all

I fluted this with a 3/8 copper rod held under the knee and preloaded with some pressure before the strike.
I'm not experienced at fluting. I just now learning to set up a platform that will work and I'm having issues getting it all aligned to get the flute down the center.
It sure is fun, something I've always wanted to do
