One sided gravel

(1/5) > >>

ere's two pieces of gravel I worked on.
They both had issues that required to be worked to one side and where pretty tough material but I enjoyed every flake.
Over the summer I had a broke collar bone and hurt wrists and couldn't knap for a while and I'm just now getting my percussion swing back to where I'm comfortable and semi confident doing it.

I also got to hit the gravel pile at the landscape supply and brought home a few more pieces.

Happy New Year!
