Bowmakers are a little bent, but knappers are just plain flaky.

look's good, did you put some epoxy in there to keep the nail from wiggleing around, Bub
failure is an option, everyone fails, it's how you handle it that matters.

I used something called 'quick steel' (I think that is what it's called. It is a clay epoxy type stuff. Seemed to work pretty good.

I made one of those awhile back.  Works good to remove those small flakes that you can't get w/ your fingernail too. dp

I now keep a narrow snap knife in my kit to pry those flakes off. The last point I did, I was using my thumbnail to pop a flake off and run the flake under the nail. Still have a piece of obs in there.
