Perfect Overshot and FFF un heated
« on: October 22, 2015, 07:34:25 pm »
Here is a perfect overshot.
The method is mostly secret.  ;)
The material is raw. And just to show the
control of the secret method I removed a FFF
to boot. ;) I  did this just before dusk with out
even preparing a platform :D.

Watch your fingers shooting over flakes! I need to learn to control my force better cause I always get those on the small ones and they ruin little points. So does hitting high and breaking into your finger...
May my presence go unnoticed, may my shot be true, may the blood trail be short. Amen.

I have been lucky with glass.  But I have been lanced with
Flint Ridge flakes and hurt by novaculite finishing points. I'm not sure but perhaps diagonal flaking was created to take advantage of the long flakes you can get with
obsidian without overshot.??
I am sure you will over come your problems as you show this stuf is
in your blood. Literally lol
