7 inch blad PICs
« on: April 08, 2008, 02:00:47 pm »
Seven inch obsidian blade.  Glass Buttes obsidian.  From hard hammer percussion to final pressure flake, all "abo" tools.

Yeah, it's snow.  I'm grateful for it, but ready for green grass.  In February the long range NOAA forecast was for a warmer than normal spring.  As luck would have it, it is still snowing.  We're supposed to get another 12-18 inches today, above 8,000'. 

I hafted one of these blades with milkweed cordage and pine-resin when I was a kid.  I grew up in Oregon, where it rains once in a while, and wanted something to carry with me that would handle the moisture.  I used it when the neighbor's dogs would chase me >:D

Yeah, I love Glass Buttes stone.  It is hard to beet the homogenous techture.  The only stuff I've found that comes close to touching it is from the Malad, Id. area.
