Having a hard time again

(1/1)

Spotted Dog:
I think I am thinking to hard on this. I can get 1 or 2 points then all my rock goes to poop.
I mostly have flakes. Could they have internal fractures that cause steps ? Or I just get dust.
What would be a good stone to use until I really get the hang of this ?  Maybe I need to get some preforms
but where ? I want to my arrow heads and maybe a knife blade once in a while.

Josh B:
Given your ailments, you might consider getting some obsidian.  It takes a gentler touch, but it's easy to work and it might cause you less pain.  Well....except for the extra cuts.  Obsidian seems to demand more blood to yield a point.  Josh

Spotted Dog:
 I can do that. Yea cuts. Bled a bit on one yesterday.

nclonghunter:
Just making suggestion.....I get steps from really hard rock or not making platforms correctly...Keokuk or Burlington are great to work if you do not like glass.

Spotted Dog:



These were preforms.  Yea they cut !
