Title: Over shot flaking ABO paleo
Post by: iowabow on June 28, 2012, 12:21:17 pm

90% shot from one side for overshot the reversed prep platform and ran them on the back. Now not the sexyest point put it represents the highest technical achievement in my travels. I cant even do this with copper. I would have a hard time explaining how to do this. The reversed platform thing is even hard to explain because of how you get into it.

I guess what i thing is real cool is that the edge is not retouched on this face (less the 10%). I have been trying to learn this stuff for about 6 months. I just started looking into the ABO to see if it would help and it really does. I cant wait to get out and try it again.

Outstanding! That's prehaps the finest example I've seen. We need to sit down & break some rock one day.
