Jesse, you give me something to shoot for. I can get pretty attached to my work and feeling pretty proud of myself and then I see some real talent. It keeps me inspired to continue gettin better. I love the color in that rock and I'm blown away by the meticulous detail that you (and others) put into your points.

Keep turnin them out, cause we all love to look!

My knapping buddy Justen Eldridge told me once "You can build a beautiful house and the trim guy can F it up."
I often think about that when i am finishing a point, the finish work is what people see so thats were time should be tuck to make it look right.

LOL Jesse that is a great phrase... It describes EXACTLY why I usually put so much time and effort into my finish work on my bows, too.   :)
