--- Quote from: Orrum on November 21, 2016, 12:29:14 pm ---The lil primitive archer has a Wonderstone tomahawk that he knapped. Seriously Eddie said we could knap any ty hinges laying around. He threw two pieces of it over to me to try, he said he couldn't get it to work. I beat one piece to death and got nothing but trash debitage! Nathaniel picked up the thine piece and wanted to hit it so I gave him a 1.25 inch copper billet and let him have at it. The chips flew and he learned to hit it close to the edge. I clubbed a piece off every now and then and it turned into a pretty fair hawk#!! It has a stub that sticks out that would be perfect to seat into a handle!

I thought it looked familiar. That stuff is very hit or miss. Out of the 400 or so pounds I gathered, only about 50 has been workable, and I am terrible, so I can only get thick stuff. Some of it comes out of heat butter smooth, some like lava rock.

I think that was a piece I tried to heat, Joe.
Orrum:
