Awesome work guys. I know of one by a vry under rated knapper that needs to be posted up. Fact is he can flat make some points. Now if you made a pine tree and showed it to me, post it up, you know who you are.

That is some real nice work.  Also thank you all for the nice words above.  I tried all weekend to make a blank that I thought would work real well for the pine tree but was working with very fustrating cracked and low quality rock.  I was trying to adhere the insturctions and never had a good thin base and nice convex tip.  I did learn through this process that flint that is a little chalky will collapse easely and will not produce consistant thinning flakes.  I did not really understand the quality difference untill this weekend.

here's my first attempt at a pine tree, I've really gotta work on my serrations, and after the rhyolite I've  been working I broke three of these before I eased back on the obsidieon, Bub
