Howdy guys.
Here is a point that I just made with bamboo and another piece of Talahatta for grinding.
I like to work TQ with wood(big ups to brother Pete), but my baton was too big to work indirectly.
I used indirect(JC Style), a little punch, and minimal pressure( tough to get the bamboo to grab and detach without the smack).
When I was as far as I could go with the bamboo, I had to get creative and added a piece of antler to the tip for easier notching.
Finished up the notches with a sharp talahatta flake.




Worked with bamboo at this point:




Added notching with antler tip bamboo Ishi.
