Careful you don't cut your lip on that flute....something tells me it may need to be tuned, it sounds a bit (hehehe) sharp!

That is cool, and a nice point.

 Now, don't think I'm weird and I promise, I haven't smoked anything since the early 70's ::) 8), but look at the top of the flute in the first picture; It looks like a face with a beak nose to me and the second picture has a face below the flute but kind of fuzzy.

The wife says it looks like a buffalo. What do y'all think?

How do you stay so thin eating all them brownies, then?

I went back and did a little looking, I definitely see the beak face in the top photo.

Nice job Ben! Flutes aren't easy for me.

Mullet, I see both and the buffalo looks cool. Ben must be a knapping impressionist ;D

I can see both figures, I missed it at first. The beak faced figure is very clear and the buffalo has its head facing to the left. It is ashamed you did not notice it prior to fluting that would have been one awesome point to display with those figures showing in them!!! Unlesssss it was just your reflection? LOL.

     Eddie said that hasn't smoked anything since the 70;s, but ....... he does uh..... look for wild mushrooms......
Actually it is indeed a neat face, sort of like an Eagle woman, and the buffalo has a calf at the upper right, and on the last picture, there is an eagle in the upper right corner.
