Thanks ya'll.  YEah, those points are pretty small, but that's the vast majority of what I make.  I just love those little points!

Nice looking points, y'all. Shannon, post that little blue/white coral Cahokia I gave you at the Classic-it's probably one of the better Cahokias I've done.

Here ya go!  Hillbilly made the one on the left for me at the Classic. I made the next two yesterday at work and the last one today.  I don't know what the material is ???  It's just some stuff Jesse threw in my box. 8)
 The banded obsidian point is from a piece Wade gave me.

I know this ain't the kind we're supposed to be posting for this challenge, but does anybody know what type this one most resembles?  I made it, but don't know what to call it ???

beautiful points guys. wish i could get the flake patterns all clean like you guys do. anyway heres a few i did. one is from root beer flint , the other from a chunk of rhyolite . both stones came from hillbilly. i like the rhyolite a lot . it took me a wehile to figure out that i needed a slightly higher platform to get past the inclusions in that stuff. next point should be better. the noviculite point came out a bit heavy but it should work >:D

Jamie, the rootbeer colored stuff is Knife River flint from North Dakota. Good job on those. That rhyolite is great for hunting points, gets sharp and won't hardly break. Ancient Chinese secret for the hangnails: heat it up and rub beeswax on it or hit it with a shot of Armor-all. No more hangnails. :)  Nice chippin', Outbackbob. Shannon, I think yours look better than mine.
