Those do look nice. Be careful or big orders can dampen a person's drive to knap.

Thank you Scott that means a lot.

I have been making flake points every morning and night so only two tools are being used for the most part. The ishi stick and ulna bone. I now use two different kinds, a large deer ulna and a smaller one. The larger for starting the notch and smaller for finishing. If I need to remove some larger part I now Hammer stone it with a steep platform prep. The antler is only used for reduction during bifacing and preforming.

Dang! Nobody can say you don't have ambition, drive, and a heck of a lot of talent, my friend. Can't wait to see what a hundred points look like.

This morning I managed two that I will include in a larger photo tomorrow. The process is about 10 to 15 minutes now.

I admire the simplicity and authenticity of your tools. Somewhere off in the happy hunting grounds there are a lot of spirits with smiles on their faces watching you craft those points. And a great job of crafting at that!
