Thanks Don this ABO stuff is fun. I have to keep in mind that those last couple flakes really don't have to come off. Sometimes it's better to have it a little asymmetrical rather than a broken point. When I was making this one Craig kept saying STOP STOP YOUR GOING TO BREAK IT so I listened to reason and let it stand. It will still take a deer and be fun to see on a shaft so I am happy but still have that voice JUST ONE MORE FLAKE!

Iowabow's posting of this point was some of the worse "humblebragging" I have ever seen on this website.  It's disgraceful. 

The point was nothing more than his usual work.  But then he had to position it so that we would see the load of arrow shafts in his garage.  Anyone else notice those?   >:D >:D >:D

I got to watch him make an ABO arrowhead today.....WOW.  I never had a clue that deer bone could have that kind of effect on a rock.  He makes it look so easy, but I know it isn't. 

Thanks John!!

He really don't have that many arrow shafts, it's all a photo trick with smoke and mirrors ;)
