First, the good. This was a little thin spall off the edge of a cobble. Very little flint in it. I was sure it wouldn't make a point. When I was half done I was sure I'd never get all the coretex off that one side. But I'll be darned if it didn't come out real nice.

The bad. Brought a cobble of this stuff home from Cross Plains, I think they called it Pappy-ite. I had a nice preform going and like a dope I tried to thin one end. Turned out one side was real chalky, probably wouldn't have made a point no matter what. Still I liked working it.

And the ugly... This is the base of that broken dalton preform. I had a nice sized point almost done when I stepped it badly. Kept working it, breaking off the tip, making it narrower. Had a heck of a time trying to thin it. It's ugly...almost didn't post a picture. Same flint as the top point, didn't come out as well.

Nice to hit the rock for awhile.
