small point from big gravel

This was  a big ol nice looking piece of landscape gravel.
It had a lot of cracks under the surface and at least three big cracks That I barely got past before it was to small to make a knife blade like I was hoping for so I decided to flute it.
You maybe can see a magic marker line across the point near the tip end. That's where I wanted the flutes to gently roll out and stop but it didn't work. Next time I may try touching it lightly with my finger and see if that might work better than the line did at stopping the flute. Might have to use a toe because I'll be using both hands. IDK
I apologize for the dim pictures, been having to use an old SLR and it just don't seem to take good pics after using a smart phone for a while. I just got my phone operating again to where I can get the pics to my PC to edit and post so future pics should be a lot better than these are.
