Bowmakers are a little bent, but knappers are just plain flaky.

Thanks guys.  I have been working hard to figure out the key to good flake patterns. I seem to get one side really good and the other so so.  I think its just an issue of tonage at this point.  I really like the paleo points and would like to try some folsom or clovis points this week.  I find it amazing that these guys did this work in a tent or cave with stone and bone.
