Obsidian inclusions
Redhand:
Ya I can see it. It's hard to get a flake to travel with those inclusions. I made a point that had a couple inclusions. I'll post a pic if you don't mind me posting on your thread
JoJoDapyro:
Not at all! I just hadn't seen it until a few weeks ago. These are so small they don't seem to affect the flaking.
Redhand:
In this point the one towards the base wasn't bad, but the one on the tip what a bit tricky to get around.
RickB:
I don't have a photo of the crumbly ash inclusion, but here's an obsidian disc that I made utilizing it to my advantage. I flaked from the outside of both sides inward, shaping and thinning the disc. I was then able to pick a small hole through the included disc, flaking from the inside out, expanding the hole. Rick B
YosemiteBen:
Very nice donut mr RickB!
