Hmm, I think I know what ya mean on the dry spots - the heating aught to slick everything up cept the quartzy lookin crystal inclusion's. I've cooked some real junk and came out with purty slick stuff.

Can't answer for anyone else but I never get bored nor tired of looking at knapped points. Just wish I had this ability. Is it difficult to make them weigh close to each other? So that you would have arras weighing close to the same for hunting? Please keep them pics comming.. :D

Good looking points. We're about as likely to get bored of looking at sharp rocks as a crackhead is likely to get bored of smoking dull rocks.  ;D

i can get  em close enough to the weight i want. the huntin shafts i built this year are within 20 grains of each other and i didnt weigh any of them till i finished building the whole set. i have a good enough idea how heavy they are just by lookin at em. the ont thing i cant do is build one point to look just like the next. i just work on em till they are thin enough to haft or thinner and wide enough to be legal. thanks guys

            Like Jamie I can get em ta be within 20 grs of each other. Can make em' look pretty close ta each other. Eddie's right though saws can give ya more bang (percussion) er pressure flakin' fer the rock used.  ;D
