Killer work John.
 Those are impressive pressure flakes for using antler.
Keep up the good work!

Thanks guys the ABO knapping has gotten much easier after a year and a half. Jessie thanks for the comment on the pressure flaking. A really good knapper (last name Smith) explained a modification to my technique that I used on those two points that I believe really helped. On the red one reduction was really fun because the stone was a puzzle and every flake removed was isolated...took for ever...thanks for looking.
