Thanks guys. The greyish head is Agate I believe. I get my glass from my wifes work. I can get 1/4" and 5/16" I'm going to try a knife blade with the 5/16" The 1/4" gets pretty thin when you get the flakes to meet in the middle.

Checked out the videos on youtube. Very informative.

 Jim, Thats the prettiest dang piece of striped obsidian I've ever seen! You did an EXCELLENT job of making a useable point out of it too. I've seen several people using antique Carrera glass lately.
I reckon so

Thank you all for the encouragement. I think the agate head is going to get a little more work. It's a little on the big side for hafting to an arrow.

That tiger striped obsidian is BEAUTIFUL!
I wish I had someone close by  to teach me how to knap. I haven't gotten enough cuts on my fingers and hands as a chef. :bigsmyl:

Razor,
Great work!  My brother hunted with stone points this year, no shots on deer, but man did they look cool! Something I might give a try?
