Igneous celt and adze: Mississippian bow project prep!

<< < (3/4) > >>

swamp monkey:
a little closer.  I took some more off the blade part to more closely match the angle of the originals. 

I am about ready to find some handle material and see how they fit.  ;) :D :)

swamp monkey:
some good info on this PDF.  Download was simple and easy.

Here is a handle with socket for the celt.  I have yet to field test it.  When I do I post.

This is white ash.  The socket was burned, scraped, drilled, and filed.   The burned and charred wood was SO much easier to remove than filing normal wood. 

riverrat:
