Shell tool pondering
swamp monkey:
Celt blades must push on the front and back of the hole created for them. This celt curves due to the shell I cut it from. The photo makes it look like it is touching on the long sides of the hole but I assure you the only real contact is in the edges of the celt.
Thanks for looking.

to mix my paints in and ate with a twisted clam shell . Which on one side was sharp enough to use as a knife.

Spotted Dog, Sorry I totally missed your question. The recent images hopefully show which side of the celt I used for cutting. The image of the shell blank didn't really chart my intentions. Now if I misunderstood your question and you were asking what part of the conch I cut that from . . . that is a different question and the answer is the part that creates the opening of the shell. I can illustrate that if you need me to. Sorry for the delay. I wasn't trying to ignore you.
Happy hunting ya'll.
