Great points posted...

I have had two that were working out nice, then I broke a tang off. Still trying, but the Rhyolite supply is getting low.

It's never a bad point, it's just a bad flake!  :P

Nice Montells, I'd give both them a home.

Sparrow, I've found Montells with shoulders not barbs.

Those are all some good loking points. Lyman that rhyolite does look alot like the rock ive been getting but all Ive made so far is gravel. Its a beast to thin.

I've got some preforms nocked out, but, it's in the high nineties. Hard to get motivated after work. :-[

Looks good Patrick! I've got two done but they look like crappola - can't seem to get them bases right. Gonna try again today..

I QUIT! Not really, won't stop till I get one that's right. Made those two little ugly one's, stalled notches, funky lookin bases, then had one going about right and blew the ears off of it. Hahaha - these things are tougher than I thought. Hats off to you guys that have succesfully finished one ;D.
