Ok, I know my pictures are not the best. Please bear with me. This point was made from an Amoeba flint I found at the local book store. I'm kinda pleased with the end results. I'm working on another point out of the remaning stone. I hope y'all enjoy.  Tower

Man, I would buy books and read more if there was good rock at the bookstore! Awesome point Tower! I need to get into the "thinning zone" you're in, always amazing.

Very pretty point. I've seen alot of that style here in the northwest and particularly along the Columbia river system.Usually not as pretty as that,but sometimes. Nice work as always.  '  Frank

Thanks everyone. I was suprised at how well it knapped raw. I'm finishing the second point from the same stone. I will post the pics when I'm done.

Nice point. Points made from landscaping rocks or "Borrowed rocks" would make an interesting post. Looking forward to pics of the second point. Love the shape of the first one.
