Collected some Rhyolite and decided to make a quick primitive axe. Cut a hickory sapling and split it down the center. Removed some bark strips for wrapping. The sapling split was wrapped around the axe head and then wrapped with bark strip. Made a good quick weapon and chopper. A small sapling was chopped down to test it. The head did swivel a level but held strong. Was an interesting experiment.

What kind of tools do you use to work the rhyolite?

We were collecting some rock so this axe was made in the woods with a chunk of copper by Bryan Irwin. I use stone hammer stones and bone/antler when making points.
