i think billy has quite a collection of abo tools from all the several posts i have seen, so im sure he will hook you up with some good photos.  I am an "Abo only" knapper.  i dont own a single copper tool  these are what i do all my work with,  i do have another elk billet for larger spalls but generally i dont use it much.  but this is pretty much all i use when i break stone-  Ryan

John, I do all of my percussion abo, I do use copper for pressure flaking some. I don't have any photos at the moment, but my percussion tools are a few gritty hammerstones, large and medium moose antler billets, a couple small whitetail antler billets, and wooden billets for knapping tough rock.

HEy John,

got your message, I'll try to get a picture up on here within the next day or two.  HAd almost every day slammed full of crap to do, and I've got a stupid wedding to go to tomorrow, and since I'm a groomsman I'll have most of my day tied up with that.  I'll try to get some pictures on here by Sunday.
