thanks! still learning alot. a few of my heads have some flaws i am learning to stay away from. i have been working with smaller chuncks right now. when i get better, i want to get some blade cores and some diffrent types of stone.

figured i would post a couple more pics i have. i have found one of the hardest things to do is thin. i think i am starting to get the hang of it. I have had trouble not getting the flake to run the length of the ridge. i have found if i put pressure with my hand against the stone when i strike it. the flake will run farther down the ridge. if no pressure it tends to die and fingernail fracture into the stone it will take a lot of practice and time to learn well. also i have plenty of hobbies so i play with it of and on. hope you enjoy the pics.

the fist is a strike i used to remove the rough outer cortex left on the stone and give myself a smooth surface to work on.
the second pic is me thinning down a ridge. the flakes are in order they were removed.

I know a guy here in Olympia who is looking for a couple reproduction-type arrows.  I can put you in touch with him tomorrow if you're interested.  He does amazing scroll saw work and a lot of his subject matter is Native American Indians.

Let me know.  NICE work!!
