OK, that makes me feel a little better. I made another point this morning from raw stone, was actually taking the coretex off a tab and got a piece large enough for a point. I did OK, but got an island of coretex on that side.

The point was pretty thin other than that.

I was able to turn the edge on the base and knock a little of it off...

But it fought me bad from there on out. I tried bringing the sides in and raising the edge on that side but nothing worked. Finally I sharpened my ishi, hooked the edge of the coretex and knocked it off with indirect.

I had tried that earlier and had no luck. Guess I wasn't as desperate then. Had to go to gloves to keep it from cutting me when I was whacking it so hard. Not the prettiest point and the symmetry is off, but I think it'll hunt. Sadly, by the time I was done fighting it, instead of a heavier, wider point I ended up with what you see and 90gr. O well, at least it didn't end up in the debitage pile.

I guess I should have quit and left that small island of coretex and had a heavier point, but my OCD nature wouldn't allow it.
