Title: WOOOOO HOOOOOOO
Post by: sailordad on September 12, 2010, 09:50:31 pm
well i am as excited as a teenage boy on prom night   ;D
i did something tonight i have been trying to do for a month now
i made my first ever succesfull all abo point  :o :o
the piece of obsidion i gatherd when we were on vaca in july out in wyoming
i used a moose billet(2 actually) that i bought at the HEDOHKA KNAPP IN in august to spall the nodule down to a preform
then i used the little end of my smaller moose tine bopper to pressure flake the edge straight
it still needs a finish edge put on it,i will do that tomorrow after i cut a tine from a deer antler
but i just had to tell/show ya'll cause i cant hardly contain myself
this has been a differant learning exprience than copper was
but glad i have had success with it,and will contiue to keep whacking the bone  >:D
heres couple of pics
thanks for looking

That's awesome man.  I can't even manage to make a blunt with copper, so seeing you guys turn out stuff like this with bone is incredible.
