Welcome back to the light side of the force!  ;D ;D Now go out on a bridge over the Yadkin River and chunk them chunks of copper as far as you can throw 'em, scrub the evil copper residue off your hands, and get to knapping.   :D

Patience pediwon, some of us have to wait on the antler, at least until the fall .   ;D

I spalled out a bunch of chert madcrow had ,all with my elk billet and a hammerstone. My antler is still good but my hammerstone took a beating. Need to find me a new one!
Primitive skills = primitive tools   My new adventure I love it

take your "beaten" one and soak head side down in a glass of thin hide glue.

this will fill up the pours and make it very strong....and heavier.
