Those do look very nice.    Do you keep the tip of your points a bit rounded on purpose?

Thanks guys!

It's not so much a bucket as it is...3 buckets....and a bunch of raw stone. So there will be more haha. :KN We'll see what I can come up with after work today. Humidity has been in the 80-90% range here lately.  :o

Parnell: The rounder tips kinda just happen when you bevel the edges hard. They can still be pointy but tend to not on most.


Here's two of my favorite artifact finds from here in Northern Illinois.
