Nice Jamie. It's just like riding a bicycle...I'm still on training wheels! ;D    Pat

Your points are inspiring. I need to remember how.  I may be past training wheels, but I still ride a big 3 wheel bike.  ;D Justin

Yep, that's Mohogany. Nice lookin points, and fun to make - if you have the time. I've learned just like everything else that if you break a few you just have to put it down and come back later. I see by that one laying on the ground there you persisted.
When you come upon a track or trail you do not know, follow it to the point of knowing.

I break the tips off of plenty.  I work the tip back to a point and save them in my tool box to give to kids when they stop to watch.  Justin
