Hey what about some axe heads or spear heads next 
I actually had an old 1930's archaeology book containing some fantastic images of axeheads, left it in the UK when I moved here

You're a talented fellow, Clint!
It's the great, big, broad land 'way up yonder,
It's the forests where silence has lease;
It's the beauty that thrills me with wonder,
It's the stillness that fills me with peace.

How did you cut your finger Clint?
The first (and last) time I attempted to knap some glass I ended up wearing lots of bandaids too.
I does look good though. I hope you post another photo after you have finished it.

There is no use focusing on aiming if you don't execute the shot well enough to hit what your are aiming at.
