finally a blade
iowabow:
After breaking a couple preforms due to fossils and mean rock...... a blade!
Tom W:
Looks like the complete package, very nice.
nclonghunter:
I like! That's pretty cool to harvest, cook and shape into a working point/blade with all ABO techniques.
Stringman:
Great job keeping that together! Looks like nice flake scars too!

Thank you for that comment. It is rewarding and also very humbling as well. After finding a stone, bifacing it, cooking it, coring it to a close preform and then breaking it can just make you sick. I think this is because of the connection you develop to the material. This process makes me think about how important Native people must have felt about an area they lived and the connection they must have felt to nature. Here is one that I broke. I still am upset about the loss.
