Question on building ishi stick and pressure flakers (updated & pics added)

<< < (2/6) > >>

BOWMAN53:
when i started the indirect percussion, the way jackcrafty does it, the first two ishi sticks split. on the next one i made out of hickory i heat treated it with the copper rod in it andi havent had an issue since. and i wack the crap out of it lol.

iowabow:
Just a a side note an ulna bone will flex and this quality is very benifical when using it to finish an edge.

JackCrafty:
Hmmm.. I gotta try that heat treated hickory idea.  I've got a bunch of scrap pieces laying around.

John, that's cool.  I've used some flexible bone in the past.  Problem is, the flexing is usually followed by the *snapping*.   :-[
