A few ABO points...
« on: April 28, 2010, 10:08:44 am »
Bone and stone took a bit more than with copper but  always fun to switch it up once in awhile.

Thanks for taking the time to look at my work!  Have a good day!

Very nice abo work. I like to mix up styles and material from time to time to keep me on my toes.
I like taking big rocks and turning them into smaller pointy rocks. :-)

Thanx for all the kind words I gotta keep on with the bones and hammerstones u tend to get depended on copper tools.  I like my points as not always great looking in a picture but hafted to a shaft they fly straight and they cut!  I love knapping a bit too much!  Thanx again for the kind words!
