The points look pretty good to me. Some may be a bit chunky.  Have you tried hafting the thicker ones?  If they are pointy and fit onto an arrow, then you have won half the battle.   

I get the plastic from Grainger.  I order online.  It's called Rod, UHMW-PE, White. 

Here's a link for the 3/4" diameter stuff:

Man, you make knapping look so easy...

Thanks for the feedback.  Yeah, some are a bit chunky, but since my arrows are rough leaf dogwood shoots, I have a little more room to mount them.  I have mounted a few made out of thunder chert and they seem to be holding up well to repeated shooting.

And thanks for the ordering info!  I am excited to trying this style of knapping out!

I found out tonight while working some raw chert that they should work this season... On the final pass, the flaker slipped off platform and sliced my index finger up to the knuckle... Just another blood sacrifice to the rock gods!
