Gonna try this I got some west texas chert in the mail and got at it.  So far so good.  Decided to stop while i was ahead.

That's a good start seider.  Can't be afraid to turn it into gravel, though.  I like to make up several just a little furthur along than that one, then work them down a little more and put them aside and keep working them in progression.  If I come to a tough spot, I just put it down when I get frustrated and pick up another one.  Then come back to the frustration one later.  I've got a pile of pieces all @ different levels in the pit and in my knapping bag.  It's kinda tricky going from stage to the next, so I like to have a few going @ the same time.  keep on knappin, dpgratz

Looks like some of Kinley's rock. You got a good start on it, It will be thin an pointy in no time . Myself i love to make preforms an then the work starts , lot harder for me to finish them out than to make preforms. Later Bob

Great start. Thin it on down or break it . That's the only way to improve yourself.

Yea I am having to slow down and not hit
As hard have been use to working raw rock. Thanks

Well I had it thinned down pretty good for me about 3/16" and shapped nice but my mom showed up before i could finish it or take a picture of it and she ran off with it.  If i get up to her house i will take a picture and post.
