Hey Greg, I have been in Vermont a few days and just got back. After beating what I had into gravel, I know what a challenge you are dealing with. That point looks great to me, just don't get frustrated with that rock, it is a beast.

I started off beating unheated rough rock and when I started using heat treated smooth stone with the skill I had it was like going from dial up to highspeed cable.  If you have the skill to knock out a nice point from that rock, you will make even better points from good material.  Looks like your hooked now no turning back at (with) this point.

Time, dedication, cuts, tons of broken rock, a wife, and perhaps a few girlfriends are some of what it takes in becoming a skilled flint knapper!!!
