Thank you guys. Pappy all of my point seem to start out good sized but i end up with small ones tryin to get them thined out enough for me. Guess i am to picky and want to have them as thin as i can get them.  Just need practice more.  I WILL get there.

I feel your pain, the more I try to thin the smaller they get...only mine don't get thinner just narrow! Good job it sounds as if you have some material to practice on...good luck, and happy knapping ;)

Thank you sir  I do feel your pain it gets frustrating when you start out with a nice big spall and you end up with a little point.
