Title: Whatever happened to the point challenges?
Post by: jonathan creason on March 15, 2011, 10:56:20 am

In searching this forum for this and that I keep running across the monthly point challenges ya'll used to have.  Every one is several pages long with lots of pics of everybody's work.  Seems like a great idea to get everybody to step it up and really work on their knapping.  Anyway, I wasn't around then, so I don't know if it fell off because everybody got bored or what, just being curious.

I'm game for anything.  Odds are I can't make it, but it'll be nice to see what ya'll turn out. 

How 'bout a pine tree for the first go-round?
