Nice work. Antler or hammer stone?

Thanks, it is light hammerstone followed by indirect antler. Finish work is an antler tipped flaker.

That's a lot of chipping. They look clean and without steps. That's hard to do.

Nicely done!  I broke one in half yesterday by lingering on the antler billet too long. Unfortunately, neither of the remaining pieces were big enough to salvage.  Josh
