its softer and has a much slower flake release.
 If you want to make one use the part thats underground for your whacking end.

Yazoo, I just use wood for really tough material like quartzite, rhyolite, silicious limestone, or really raw tough nasty chert, for the reasons that Jesse just mentioned-it lets you get bigger, cleaner flakes because of slower flake initiation. I like antler better for good rock.
