I just stumbled onto this thread....I'm amazed at the quality of work you folks turn out.  You really should all take a big, well deserved clap on the back.

....and just great, something else I need to try - I gotta stop hanging around on these "art" forums....lol

Lets hear some ideas for the May challenge.

Calf creek was mentioned,can't remember what else without looking back.

I'll throw in something. Since alot of us use our points in the field,How bout a hunting point of some type,cahokia,basic corner notch,etc,but making it with a certain grain weight?

Just under the wire.  This one is made from  Pedernales from Texas.  I couldn't get either flute to run.  This is the better side.
Kinda like a non-resharpened Dalton.  I broke a couple of others I was working on.

Calf creek or something with a certain grain weight would both be a challenge. I'm game for either Timo, we need to announce it quick though :).
 That's a nice authentic looking point Jim! And from tx perd, aught to last awhile..

Hardaway,ya got a nice scar pattern on that one!

I always have favored the side notch/ cahokia design.Maybe try to make a couple matched? 100-125 grains?

How bout we wait till everyone gets back from the classic. maybe they'll want to add imput?

Nice looking points and hafting job the bone pile! ;) You not use pitch to set your points?
