neo- abo flaker / how do you like antler?

<< < (2/2)

Hillbilly:
That looks good. I like antler for pressure and use it a good bit, it just dulls quicker and I have a hard time running long flakes with it. I'm going to try making some long caribou antler flakers like James Parker uses, they seem to work great (for him anyway :) )

knap_123:
ifya get a chance to try the deer prongs, you'll notice how they flex when removeing a flake, like a ishi stick does.  because there a small diameter, there  a little springy.  so you get that snap if you extend the prong out. if you like it stiffer push it in some.

mullet:
 That is cool. I just cut an 18" piece of moose antler today to make a flexible flaker.

koan:
Thats a good idea, think I will make one ;)...Brian
