You are off and running. It keeps getting better every time you chip.

I have a pile of flakes from my efforts at reducing my large spalls to nothing but flakes :-)  So picking at all of them as I can, 10 min here and 30 min there.  Some obsidian, georgetown, a random flake from Eddie, and middle right is a piece of much smaller than I purchased it Flint Ridge.

Yup, you are really coming along.  I like how you are visualizing that center line, Paul.  Keep at it!

A lot of progress, Paul, those look good. If you look at the edge on the first point you can see some small deltas. You could grind those and run some more flakes and straighten the edge at the same time.

Still not the art work that most of you post but best I can do.  I like the glass one the best; the two stone ones could use some more touch-up.  Maybe if I decide to put them on the end of an arrow...still plenty of flakes to keep me away from proper stones:-)

Good work and good progress. Don't ever give these early ones away. You will remember them later and wish you could take another look at them.

Most recent results, probably too heavy to put on an arrow ill give it a try anyway and see how they shoot.
