another big gravel small point deal
1442:
I wanted to try out my phone to post pics so I took a bunch of them while working another piece of gravel tonight.
I hope y'all like a lot of pics
This piece had a few clues showing on the surface hinting that it had hidden obsticles inside and that one end was gonna fall off sooner or later during the process of working it.
I got a starter flake on one end and just tried to take the biggest flakes I could to get it skint.

1442:
this is where the end fell off due to the crack
1442:
up to this point has been all direct percussion work with a copper bopper
1442:
here I've beveled the edge with pressure and will continue thinning with a 3/8" copper rod held under the knee indirect.
I do one side then bevel and work the other side usually
