Looks like you got the hang of things.  Just keep chipping away and you will get better the more you chip.

Thanks guys. I am reading and watching all I can. I need to get some good rock. Where do you suggest.
The 2 pieces I just made I got the stone many years ago at Ft. Osage knap in. They moved it from there .
I have no idea to where. Made some new tools. Need an Ishi stick and hammer.
who said you can't teach an old Dog new tricks  :laugh:

The easiest way is post on the Trade Post. Plenty of people willing to trade rock for other goodies, usually.
