here it is guys it turns out i had some obsidian or some kind of rock that looks like it anyway but it wasnt to big of a piece. after chipping it and actually i broke it a few times haha but i started working a little more close with one piece and made a little blade with it and stuck a willow handle on it now dont laugh to hard its my first time eh
here is the tool i made and was using to do some flaking. its just a nail that i filed at the end to make it kinda flat and a willow handle
and here are the other little chunks i got

Good stuff Northern.
If yoyu want to tidey up the twin wrap, maybe take it off, and break it down ...
meaning undo the twin to smaller string. Then, if you have 5 minute epoxy or crazy glue, wrap the thinner string around the handle close to the stone. Then put on the 5 minute epoxy or crazy clue.
It will be strong & hold fast. And tidey up your wrapping Cheers Dude, rock-on ! lol, get it ?! ... rock-on
..... oh fur get it ...... get it !! " fur " ... hunting, stone tools ?!! ...... Oh Fir get it
