Break that point in half. Put the base in a creek & let me find it . I would swear I have the base. Great point my friend & Kanp-On!

Thanks for all the input on this post.  I have been trying a few different point styles now that I can predictably attempt colateral flaking.

Thanks I have been doing a lot more work with percussion and less with the pressure flaker.  I like
How Tower discribes preparing the preform and using less pressure for thinning.
