  That looks pretty good for the 1st attempt.  Is that by any chance the bottom of an old Mason jar?  That apparent color of blue looks like some of my older jars... if they happen to get broken they get flaked before long...  They make good looking points.

How long did you make it? I keep considering making one but always forget when I'm out working on projects.

You are using a tree branch as an indirect percussion flaker?

Looks good to me, nice job.

Right on man. Ishi sticks will change your knapping for the better for sure once you really get the hang of them.

Oh, right on.  I was wondering if you were catching it with just the stick!  Ha...
