Title: second attempt
Post by: tlee on April 24, 2008, 08:44:48 pm

ok yall this is my second attempt, this time with a copper flaker instead of the nail. also I took a Sharpie to it so I could see the flake scars better....I can't wait to get my hands on some good knapping material.

  Nice Biface. You can't really ask for much easier material than Obsidean or glass.

You took a sharpie to it? Didn't catch that first time around - did you paint the glass black? Looks just like obsidian..
