Either one could be hafted and make some meat with.  Practice does make perfect.  Keep up the good work.

Dustin, I've  always been the kinda guy that does for himself. Always able to figure it out so to speak. Well....Flintknapping was and still is the biggest learning curve I have ever encountered.Takes lots of whacking to get to the next stage,and there is always another stage.

keep at it and pay attention to what the better knappers tell and show you, go home and practice what you learned,before ya know it you'll be knocking out some quality.

Hey Dustin,
