This style of point is really something.  Any chance you would be interested in doing a step by step pictorial on how you get that serration on the point?

Nice point.  Great serrations.  The rock looks like Buffalo River.  Bill

Yep, primo as always.

Hey Shannon, I echo what Lee said. Maybe you could put together a few pics showing how to make the serrations. It wouldn't have to be a whole point, just show how to set up and make one serration. Thanks.
