Howdy John,

I am using only a small hammer stone and then punch knapping with antler. I made a small antler tipped hand flaker to help work the edge and set up platforms. The more I use a hammer stone the closer I am getting to a finished point using it. I have about 10 antler punches varying in size and length. A couple are cut from moose antler and they are the size of your thumb. I try to use strictly the whitetail antler now. I also made an Ishi stick and rawhide wrapped an antler tip on the end for some pressure flaking. I use these tools on all my knapping now.

Marty Reuter has a great 5 part video on YouTube about "hammer stone clovis". I really enjoyed it.

That's really cool, I need to do more hammer stone work also.

iowabow:
Your results are looking good.

Tom W:
Your art is a real inspiration, thanks for sharing Lyman.
