Wish you were a better knapper?  That looks pretty awesome to me.  Can we see a thickness picture?

I don't see anything wrong with that one.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Thanks everyone, good rock really helps out but it is the thinning that makes okay knappers into great ones. At least in my opinion.

Parnell, here is the side view. Someday I will be able to thin better, at least I hope...:-)

It is the challenge I enjoy!

Way to go! I remember well the thrill you must be feeling by completing a nice point. You did good and had the fortune to have some great material to work. Keep knappin' - Ben
