Wolfwatcher, those are some really nice points, great work. And those Solberger points are awesome, definitely a piece of history there. Didn't he invent or re-invent the fluting jig as we know it?

Hillbilly:  Solly, as he was called, did make a fluting jig and I have one somewhere packed away, but have never used it.  We became long distance friends in the late 50s and early 60s.  I sent him elk and deer horns, some obsidian and he sent me a collection of his work and some Texas flint.  He also was one of the first to heat treat some of that tough Texas flint.  He was a scholar about his work and I have several pages of his notes. He was an inspiration for me.  Watcher

Wolf Watcher sent me this picture of a little Glass Buttes knife made by Larry Schumacher.
Joe can fill in any details.

Looks a bit smallish for a Glass Buttes point. Ask him to post one of the bigger ones!  ;D  I bet you think I'm kidding, too!!!
