Just Start Over?

CDC1911:
So I've started trying to create a point, but I'm not sure what to do about the curve. Any suggestions?

Chippintuff:
I don't know about your knapping skills, but that one can be managed. The end that is furthest from your finger could lose a little from the concave side and be almost straight. It is a lot like knappping a bottle bottom.

I have no skills, just got some tools and rocks. It seems that every piece I start with is curved and even though I can shape it I can't seem to work out the curve or thickness. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

GlisGlis:
there is a flat point in your rock
you have to learn to deal with concave side removing material    :K   ;)
there are alot of good video on youtube
search for JackCrafty or Paleoman52 just to name the first 2 that came in mind

CDC1911:
OK, I see the area you are talking about and I'll look up those guys on YouTube. Thanks!
