obsidian shards
« on: August 19, 2012, 09:44:41 pm »
I found a bunch of obby shards but they are way too small to knap or anything, what else can you do with little ones? The largest is a third of an inch.

Cover a warclub with pine pitch and imbed the shards in it.  It will look like a very nasty weapon.
