Been having a rough go of it, broke 9 or 10 points before I finally made this one.

Nice work
What kind of stone is that?

Thanks Rob, that is a local stone called harvester creek chert. It's hard to see in the picture but it has some different brown speckles on the edges.

Decided to thin this point to make it hunting weight, overshot some flakes. I think it turned out well anyway. Ended up a little light.
