Derik, Don't tell anybody but I pimp some of my points up by putting a little bee's wax on them to hide fingernail hinges an make em look all shiny an gussy up :o :o Raw onondaga is kinda dull  an tuff and heat treat doesn't help with color or texture :( Bob

I'm new here , That point is amazing . obviously there is some kind of magic at work here . How else can you explain flaking little pieces off and it coming out so symmetric . Now I'm going to have to look around North Georgia for rock that is susceptible to this form of witchcraft . Very nice work .
