that's a blend of coral and a few burlingtons,I like the colors.I think,and I could be wrong,but the hernandos were before heat treating was the norm.so I recon I cheated.I wanted to show what I had lying around so I'll have to knapp more

well i know it aint quit July as of yet but i was on a roll today
actualy i had two first today
 the first of the first was, i used some unheated picture jasper. a slab of course,that all i use because i buy my stuff at a rcok shop and cant spal worth a crap.
 the second of the first was, it was the first time that i broke a point nad glued it bck together.normally i would of just reduced it and made a smaller point.
but this was tooo nice ,atleast for my limited abilities.
i know there are a few flat spots from the saw yet,onlt cause i was afraid of breaking it in half if i tried to get any more of them out.
it actually broke when i was doing the very last flake in the last notch,thats wht i glued it back together.

heres a pic,i guess it would the "Hernando" style of point.
this along with 3 others that are finished,and other yet to be made will be going in a trade so i hope he wont be disappointed with this or the others.

i always wanted a harley,untill it became the "thing to ride"
i ride because i love to,not to be part of the crowd
