i think billy has quite a collection of abo tools from all the several posts i have seen, so im sure he will hook you up with some good photos.  I am an "Abo only" knapper.  i dont own a single copper tool  these are what i do all my work with,  i do have another elk billet for larger spalls but generally i dont use it much.  but this is pretty much all i use when i break stone-  Ryan

John, I do all of my percussion abo, I do use copper for pressure flaking some. I don't have any photos at the moment, but my percussion tools are a few gritty hammerstones, large and medium moose antler billets, a couple small whitetail antler billets, and wooden billets for knapping tough rock.

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.

HEy John,

got your message, I'll try to get a picture up on here within the next day or two.  HAd almost every day slammed full of crap to do, and I've got a stupid wedding to go to tomorrow, and since I'm a groomsman I'll have most of my day tied up with that.  I'll try to get some pictures on here by Sunday.
