You are so right about the challenging rock. It is only good 1/8 of an inch below the cortex and all of thoses line want to create steps. The stone is also grainy but it worth all of the work for the color.

Thanks Will! I went to the hardware store to buy those copper nails and about died when I saw the price so I think I am going to make a punch from some of my thicker copper wire. I love those points you have been making and I think I will try to make one this weekend. Do you use a board below the point and does it have a hole drilled in it?

That Crazy Point is Very Cool.
It kinda reminds me of the look of Oyster Shell.
Guess I'm gonna have to try Oyster now, as I have a pile of last year's shell.
