Texas Cornertang
« on: May 01, 2013, 02:14:32 pm »
Here's another series of photos from some local stone. The first 2 are pics of the heat treated preform.
 


After another series of percussion & pressure flaking I thought I'd make a Cornertang.
Not as thin as I'd like, but most I've seen are a little thick.    Tower

Nice blade. I dont know how you guys can get such large thin blades without snapping them several times.

How was the corner thang mounted?
