Thanks guys. Truth be known I broke the preform early on, but since it was the last big piece I had handy, I superglued it back together.

I actually did most of the reduction and shaping after the repair and the glue joint held up and knapped just fine, (and I didn't break it again, so I was pretty happy about that). I was able to "hide" the glue joint in the handle.
