Thanks! It was fun. A bit different and took two and a half tries to get one from between cracks in the stone.
the shape is modeled after the examples in Overstreet guide and narrower than the ones above.
I'm gonna do another one and try to keep it a bit wider in the middle this time.

Sure glad POM is active again.

That looks great outback
I have a lot of trouble on the last pass not getting little step fractures.
I made this one tonight and had to go around it with pressure just to clean up the edges.
That first one I made was all direct percussion.
Did the originals have pressure flaking?

Yea, Bob, time to work on the bow. I was whining with the long one and down right ready to cry when I got the Ryolite real thin.
