Hillbilly, that's a beautiful piece of work no matter how you cut it (so to speak).  I never the heard the term FOG before either, but find the idea interesting.  I don't have anything but spalls, but it seems as though it might be possible to flake a spall reasonably flat, do some grinding on it to clean up the edge and increase my chances of getting a decent flake pattern, which is not my best suit.  The Egyptians and Danes probably didn't work from slabs; or did they.  Anybody know?

Thanks again. Shannon, I don't do it enough any more to keep in practice. I make something decent now ans then, but break ten in the meantime. Newbow, yep, they percussioned out a preform and then hand-ground it slick.

Hillbilly,
What a beautiful set!! The talent on this forum just amazes me.  Being so new to all of this, I can't believe what you guys can do with your hands and simple tools!! And to think we consider this primitive! Thanks for sharing with us.
