Grind over flake adze

Nice! I want to make one too.
I have seen a prehistoric five sided axe/adz like that except it was ground smooth on all five sides out of a dark tan colored stone that looks like some of the local gravel. It was found in Sabine Parish Louisiana.
Some day when I'm up there I will get some pics of it.

Zuma, yes there are flint celts and adzes that are ground from here, mostly Midwest.

Outbackbob48:
Joel, nice job. I saw the adze that your Dad made up at the Parker Dam, that was quite impressive for cutting wood. Bob

Ghost Knapper:
Yeah it is I chopped through a log up at Little Pine State Park. I should have taken photos during the process of making this one, early stages really showed more definition to the 5 faces

Josh B:
Cool!  The business end looks like it would do some serious wood removal.  Josh
