This is a stone glande I made not entirely sure of the type of stone  but seems to be some type of sandstone I used a regular wood rasp and sandpaper/sander it didn’t take me long only around 30 minutes

This is Timpa's solution if the rocks in your area are harder. Here in Finland it's mostly granite and quartz. Way too hard for just rasps and sandpaper.

Edit: Helps if you post the link to the video you're referring to...

There are bronze age finds of biconoid chalk rock bullets. I used a bronze axe and finished  each one in very short time, perhaps two minutes.

@Slingbasket

your directness is commendable.

your politeness is poor.
