Trouble notching (picture)
« on: April 11, 2011, 01:53:33 am »
All "abo" tools. Overall happy with how this one turned out.  59.42 MM long, 22.65 MM wide, 5.11 MM thin.  Obsidian from mile post 77, Hwy 20, central Oregon.  I would have liked for the pictures to have shown flake detail better.  I need to practice my notching; I wish they were more symmetrical, even expanding.

You don't appear to be having any trouble at all, looks great to me. Smaller tools equals narrower notches if that's what your shooting for. Keep em coming..

It's good to criticize yourself but I agree with everyone else it looks good.
