Polished Celt

[swamp yeti]

I thought I would do something a little different I made a greenstone celt.The celt was pecked,ground,polished and the bit was sharpend with a piece of sandstone.The length of the celt is five and a half inches and the width at the bit is two and a half inches.After I made the celt I made a handle from white oak.

Cool looking Celt. I hope you made something with that tree. You should never kill a poor tree unless you are going to use it or eat it. That is not Ethical chopping.

Thanks Mullet,the tree was leaning over my road bed into the bottom could not get my tractor up under it,good practice for my celt.

[swamp yeti]

I polished it with fine sand and water on a big flat piece of sandstone.

This must be a typo--
"The length of the celt is five and a half inches and
 the width at the bit is seven and a half inches."
No matter the pics look great. Nice work.
