Almost a year ago to the day, thanks in part to stobber,  I began the journey into learning how to knap flint.

Here's one hobby not learned overnite ... or even in a month.  

Anyway, not fantastic by any means, but here's a few points I've managed to fashion.

Brazilian Agate ^ , (not the easiest material to work)

a few more from various materials. ^     :)    

I'd thought about hafting one of my relic finds to an arrow but the risk of loosing it turned me back and it seems making my own stone points more in line with my desires anyway.     :archer:
