Weekend points

Here are a couple of points I made this weekend. I learn a lot about the varyous qualities of flint. The point on the left was made from good smooth flint but the two on the right were a little chalky. This made things difficult as I was setting up the point as a preform. Thinning blows and pressure flake stepped or cruched and made preperation very difficult. Good flint equals a good times. The second photo is of points I have made in the past month I think.
