I started on the ends removing some of the curvature but I got a big ol overshot on the base end that caused me to come up short on the finished width with 1-1/8". It wound up 3-7/8" long though so I got some extra there.

before I did all that I made this point out of a piece of gravel. I broke the tip off so it wound up short

thanks y'all
final dimensions are 1-1/8" X 3-7/8". I lost some width with the early overshot flake.
